Robert Lewandowski will not appear in Poland’s first match at Euro 2024. The Barcelona striker’s readiness for another match in Germany is still a question mark.

DT Sports reported that Lewandowski suffered an injury when Poland beat Turkey 2-1 in a friendly match on Monday (10/6). He only played for 33 minutes before being replaced by Kacper Urbanski.

The results of the examination a day later showed that there was a problem in his thigh which forced Lewandowski to be sidelined when facing the Netherlands on Sunday (16/6) at 20.00 WIB. This is clearly a big loss for Michał Probierz’s team.

Even so, Poland did not immediately send him home. He still has a chance to play against Austria five days later. This is what the Polish medical team is trying to do.

Robert Lewandowski suffered a torn bicep femoris muscle, which prevented him from playing in the first match of the tournament. “We did everything so that Robert could play in the second match against Austria,” said Polish team doctor Jacek Jaroszewski.

Lewandowski is the record holder for appearances and goals with the Polish national team. He has played 150 times and scored 82 goals since his debut in 2008.
