Euro 2024: Poland’s star player Robert Lewandowski, often hailed as the best in the world, is expected to make a comeback for the team in a crucial Group D match against Austria.

In a thrilling turn of events, Poland’s star striker Robert Lewandowski is set to make his long-awaited return to the pitch in their upcoming Euro 2024 clash against Austria. After missing their first match against the Netherlands due to a thigh injury, Lewandowski’s presence is expected to inject a much-needed boost of confidence into the Polish squad.

Poland’s manager, Michal Probierz, couldn’t contain his excitement about having the “best player in the world” back in action. He emphasized the significant difference Lewandowski’s availability will make for the team, stating, “There is a big difference between having the best player in the world on the bench and whether he is available to play or not.”

Despite suffering a defeat in their opening match, Probierz remains optimistic about Poland’s chances in the tournament. When asked if he had experienced any sleepless nights ahead of the crucial clash with Austria, the seasoned coach laughed off the suggestion, stating, “Not at all, I can sleep all the time, I slept in the car on the way to this press conference. I have been a coach for 23 years. I have coached kids, at youth level and now the national team – it is the same at all levels.”

Poland’s goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny, echoed Probierz’s sentiments, expressing his belief that Lewandowski’s return will have a profound impact on their performance. Szczesny emphasized Lewandowski’s status as the best Polish player of all time and highlighted the positive influence his presence will have on both the team’s approach and their opponents’ mindset.

With hopes of advancing to the knockout stages, Szczesny made it clear that Poland is not content with a short-lived tournament experience. He stated, “To come to Germany for two weeks, play three games and go home, I don’t want that. I want to fight for some higher aims, and I believe this team can fight for it. I think tomorrow it is our little final and the most important moment of our tournament.”

Poland’s clash with Austria will undoubtedly be a pivotal moment for their Euro 2024 campaign. The return of Lewandowski has injected a renewed sense of determination and optimism into the squad, as they aim to secure their place in the knockout stages and make a lasting impact in the tournament.
