The Polish national team will face Malta on Monday evening in the second evening match Elimination of World Championships 2026. White and red will try to improve in relation to the match against Lithuania (1: 0), after which they were met by a lot of criticism from experts and fans. However, they will have to do without Robert Lewandowski in the first composition.
Michał Prdyk spoke before the match with Malta. That's why Robert Lewandowski is not playing
They worked before the match Media reports that Lewandowski will not be in the starting eleven. The selector gave the reasons for such a decision in a pre -match statement on Polish Television.
– We talked to Robert and we assessed his condition. He has already arrived with pain and you have to respect it. It is already available today if you need it. We will see how the match will work out and we will only make a decision – the coach began.
Duo attackers Karol Świderski and Krzysztof Piątek will create. – For me it is important for Karol to improve what he had in the last match. Between the lines must be more creative, find the last pass and sometimes also hit. This is important. Krzysiek must operate in the penalty area – said the trainer about the tasks of the attackers.
– There are two more changes: there is Jakub Kamiñski and Mateusz Bogusz. Matty Cash is not playing, because we agreed so after talking to him. He did not train and did not play much in Aston Villa and feels tired. It is better to use it from a bench than to catch an injury. We want players, including Kamiński, play one on one. He has changed in recent matches and I would like to know in all matches – added Prdyk.
