Poland’s star player, Robert Lewandowski, will not be starting in the upcoming Euro 2024 match against Austria. The captain will be on the bench as he continues to recover from a thigh muscle injury sustained during a pre-tournament warmup. This comes after Lewandowski missed Poland’s first match against the Netherlands, where his replacement, Adam Buksa, scored in a 2-1 loss.
Despite the absence of Lewandowski, coach Michal Probierz has placed his trust in Buksa, who will be starting alongside striker Krzysztof Piatek against Austria. Both teams will be looking to secure their first win in Group D after suffering losses in their opening matches. Austria was defeated by France with a score of 1-0.
Lewandowski’s presence on the bench is sure to have an impact on the dynamics of the game, as his goal-scoring abilities are well-known in the football world. However, this gives an opportunity for other players to step up and showcase their skills on the field. Fans will be eagerly watching to see how Buksa and Piatek perform in the absence of their captain.
The match between Poland and Austria is highly anticipated, with both teams eager to secure a victory and boost their chances of advancing in the tournament. The stakes are high, and the pressure is on for the players to deliver a strong performance on the field.
As the Euro 2024 tournament continues, fans can expect more thrilling matches and unexpected outcomes. Stay tuned for updates on your favorite teams and players as the competition heats up.
