The Polish national team is preparing for the next qualifying matches of the European Championship 2024. The wards of Fernando Santos will want to erase the stain after a sensational defeat by Moldova. The Portuguese coach announced a few days ago a challenge for the matches against the Faroe Islands and Albania. Unexpectedly, Lukasz Skorupski dropped out of the team. Officially, there is talk of health problems, but in the absence of the Bologna goalkeeper, there is no shortage of speculation.
The Polish national team begins training camp before the qualifying matches of the European Championship 2024. After a compromising defeat by Moldova a few months ago, the White-Reds came under heavy criticism. If we add to this the presence of Miroslav Stasiak, who is involved in corruption, and the scandalous video with the participation of a corrupt arbitrator, the PZPN has not had the best PR lately.
Lukasz Skorupski and Nikola Zalewski out of the national team
The game of the Polish national team can change the situation. Biala-Cervoni’s opponents are not among the strongest, but the meeting with Moldova showed that no opponent should be underestimated. Fernando Santos announced his call-ups for the upcoming matches a few days ago - at home with the Faroe Islands and away with Albania. The Poles have already played with the second opponent in the qualification (1:0 victory).
Unexpectedly, Fernando Santos was forced to send additional offers. According to Tomasz Kozlowski, director of the PZPN Communications and Media Department, health problems prevented Nikola Zalewski (Roma) and Lukasz Skorupski (Bologna) from coming. They will be replaced by Pavel Wszolek (Legia Warszawa) and Kamil Grabara (Copenhagen).
Skorupski’s mysterious injury is discussed the most. Over the weekend, the Bologna goalkeeper played the entire Serie A match. Neither before nor immediately after the match, he complained of health problems. According to Piotr Dumanovski, a journalist well versed in the realities of Serie A, none of the well-known Italian portals mentions the injury of the goalkeeper. Therefore, his absence immediately after the high-profile interview with Robert Lewandowski is a big secret.
Lewandowski accused Skorupski of lying
Lewandowski, in an interview published over the weekend for Eleven Sports and Matchyków, claimed that Skorupski lied in a high-profile interview with Przegląd Sportowy Onet regarding the bonus scandal during the World Cup. As the national team captain added, the entire white-red team was surprised by the statement of the 32-year-old football player.
