Poland Faces Challenges Ahead of Netherlands Clash
As Poland prepares to take on the Netherlands in a crucial match, the team is grappling with significant lineup changes due to key players being sidelined with injuries. Head coach Michał Probierz, who remained composed during press meetings, is now faced with the challenge of reshaping his strategy for the European Championship.
Key Absences
Star striker Robert Lewandowski is out for the Netherlands game, casting doubt on his availability for the match against Austria. Paweł Dawidowicz and Karol Świderski are also dealing with injuries, further weakening Poland’s lineup. Dawidowicz, in particular, has struggled with fitness issues in recent years, impacting his participation in major events.
Replacement Strategies
To fill the void left by Dawidowicz, Probierz is likely to turn to Bartosz Salamon, known for his confidence and composure. Adam Buksa is expected to lead the attack in Lewandowski’s absence, with promising young midfielder Kacper Urbański also set to start against the Netherlands.
Predicted Lineup
Predicted lineup for Poland against the Netherlands:
- Wojciech Szczęsny (GK)
- Jan Bednarek
- Bartosz Salamon
- Jakub Kiwior
- Przemysław Frankowski
- Jakub Piotrowski
- Bartosz Slisz
- Piotr Zieliński
- Nicola Zalewski
- Kacper Urbański
- Adam Buksa
