Poland vs Austria lineups: Robert Lewandowski injury latest, predicted XIs and Euro 2024 team news | OneFootball

Poles set to be boosted by return of star striker

Robert Lewandowski has returned to training in a huge boost to Poland, who next play Austria at Euro 2024 on Friday.

Michal Probierz’s side struggled to create chances outside of set plays however and changes should come in attack with Lewandowski replacing Buksa and Karol Swiderski making his case with a strong cameo off the bench. Jakub Moder could also get the nod to start in midfield.

At the back, Bartosz Salamon is a doubt after hurting his ankle against the Dutch and Pawel Dawidowicz could step in for the veteran centre-back as he nears a return from injury.

Austria are also chasing a first point having lost to France to open their campaign.

Ralf Rangnick is not thought to be contending with any fresh injury issues but his side’s inability to create chances could lead to fresh faces in attack.

Wolfsburg winger Patrick Wimmer could make the XI while Marko Arnautovic and Romano Schmid are also candidates.

Predicted Poland XI: Szczesny; Bendarek, Dawidowicz, Kiwior; Frankowski, Moder, Romanczuk, Zielinski, Zalewski; Swiderski, Lewandowski

Predicted Austria XI: Pentz; Posch, Danso, Wober, Mwene; Seiwald, Laimer; Wimmer, Sabitzer, Baumgartner; Gregoritsch
