Unfortunately for Poland, they will be without talisman Robert Lewandowski at least for the opening match after he hurt his thigh. He faces a battle to feature in the next game versus Austria.

Krzysztof Piatek, Adam Buksa or Karol Swiderski are options to replace him as the starting striker.

Matty Cash and Arkadiusz Milik well not feature in the tournament due to injury.

Key player - Poland

With Lewandowski out of the picture, Piotr Zielinski will need to step up for Poland.
