After Poland shot-stopper Robert Lewandowski pulled out of the firing line with an injury sustained in the warm-up match against Turkey, the national team issued a statement saying the 35-year-old captain would miss Sunday night's opening group D match in Europe with a torn biceps femoris.
Rolali Wlundowski contributed an assist to help Poland beat Turkey 2-1, but he was injured on 33 minutes. According to Poland's military medical team, 'Roberto' suffered a torn biceps femoris muscle in the first leg against the Netherlands and the striker is now being helped to recover in the hope that he will be back in Austria in time for the second group stage match.
Rolaliwundowski is the team's all-time leading scorer with 82 goals in 150 matches for Poland and his absence will surely weaken Poland's chances of winning. As for Schwedarski and center Dawidowicz, they were also injured in the same battle and are expected to be out for 3-4 days.
