However, the downside of this match were further injuries. For this reason, Pawe³ Dawidowicz was unable to finish the first half, Piotr Zieliński had to be replaced in the last quarter of an hour, and Robert Lewandowski started the match on the bench due to a minor injury, and after entering the pitch he was brutally treated by the Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic , who received a red card for his foul.
– Leg OK – said the captain of the Polish national team as he limped through the mixed zone after the match. – I hope it’s nothing serious. I felt a little tense. However, I hope that I will be available soon – said Zieliński in a post-match interview on TVP.
Injury, injury, injury. Touchstone confirmed that the FIFA virus has affected the Polish national team
At the press conference, coach Michał Probierz answered a question about the health condition of Dawidowicz and Zieliński. – Paweł Dawidowicz recurred an injury he had previously. In the case of Piotrek Zieliński, there should be no major problems, but a change had to be made, said the national team coach.
Touchstone also confirmed that Robert Lewandowski’s absence from the starting eleven was due to health reasons.
– Lewandowski had a slight injury, we didn’t want to risk playing from the first minute. However, he made a very good change in the second half, he kept the ball well, it’s a pity that one missed situation – said the coach, and then added information about the injured Dawidowicz.
– Paweł Dawidowicz will probably be out for a longer period, but Kamil Piątkowski came on at a very difficult moment and made a good change. The debutants also showed that they can also be the strength of this team in the future. We must remember that we played with several players who can go to Euro U-21 in the summer, noted Michał Probierz.
As the 52-year-old coach added, health problems also affect others. – We have food for thought. We also need to constantly travel and observe the players, because we need to see how we can strengthen this team. The sad news that has reached us is the injury of Ariel Mosór, because he is also in our orbit of interests – analyzed Probierz.
– Kuba Piotrowski will probably be operated on next week and will also be out for a few weeks – he concluded.
After the draw with Croatia, the Polish national team has little chance of reaching the quarter-finals of the Nations League, but it is also closer to third place and avoiding direct relegation to division B. In November, the Polish national team will first play against Portugal in Porto (November 15), and then they will play against Scotland at the National Stadium. (November 18).
