WARSAW: Poland captain Robert Lewandowski will miss his country´s Euro 2024 opener this weekend with a thigh injury, the Polish football federation´s doctor said on Tuesday.
Lewandowski, 35, will be absent to face the Netherlands on June 16 after suffering the injury in Monday´s 2-1 win in a friendly against Turkey.
Poland then play Austria on June 21 and the tournament´s joint favourites France four days later.
“We are doing everything so that Robert can play in the second match against Austria,” doctor Jacek Jaroszewski said in a statement.
Barcelona forward Lewandowski was substituted after just 33 minutes on his 150th international appearance as Poland ended their Euro 2024 preparations with a victory.
