Lewandowski suffers injury and will miss Poland in their European Championship debut

The Polish fan got some bad news this Tuesday. In a statement from the Polish national team, it was reported that striker Robert Lewandowski suffered a tear in his biceps femoris muscle, which will leave him out of his debut match in the European Championship, against the Netherlands.

Poland’s doctor, Jacek Jaroszewski, also assured that “they are doing everything so that Robert can play in the second match, against Austria”.

The injury occurred during the friendly between Poland and Türkiye, held last Monday. Feeling pain, the Barcelona center forward had to be replaced in the 33rd minute of the first half.

In addition to Lewandowski, the medical situations of Pawel Dawidowicz and Karol Swiderski were also updated. While the first suffered a quadriceps muscle strain, the other had an ankle sprain “without significant damage”.

Jacek Jaroszewsk said that after treatment, both athletes should return to full training within three to four days.

The clash between Poland and the Netherlands is scheduled for next Sunday, at 10 am (Brasília time), at the Volkspark Stadium. Group D still includes Austria and France.
