Lewandowski Benched for Poland's Crucial Euro Match Against Austria

Poland’s captain Robert Lewandowski will be benched in the upcoming European Championship match against Austria. Lewandowski sustained a thigh injury in a warm-up and was also absent in Poland's previous 2-1 defeat against the Netherlands. Adam Buksa, who replaced him, will start alongside Krzysztof Piatek.

Poland's captain, Robert Lewandowski, will start on the bench in the European Championship match against Austria in Berlin this Friday.

The star striker, listed among Poland coach Michal Probierz's substitutes, sustained a thigh muscle injury during a pre-tournament warm-up, causing him to miss Poland's opening 2-1 loss to the Netherlands. Adam Buksa, who filled in for Lewandowski in that game, scored but couldn't prevent the loss.

Buksa will once again spearhead Poland's attack, this time alongside fellow forward Krzysztof Piatek, as both teams look to bounce back from their opening Group D defeats. Austria suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to France in their first match.
