Poland captain Robert Lewandowski will miss his country’s Euro 2024 opener this weekend with a thigh injury, the Polish football federation’s doctor said on Tuesday. 


Lewandowski, 35, will be absent to face the Netherlands on June 16 after suffering the injury in Monday’s 2-1 win in a friendly against Turkey. 


Poland then play Austria on June 21 and the tournament’s joint favourites France four days later. 


“We are doing everything so that Robert can play in the second match against Austria,” doctor Jacek Jaroszewski said in a statement. 

Barcelona forward Lewandowski was substituted after just 33 minutes on his 150th international appearance as Poland ended their preparations with a victory. 

Following the game, Poland coach Michal Probierz had been upbeat about Lewandowski’s injury, saying he was “optimistic” and “there shouldn’t be a problem.”
