Poland will be facing off against the Netherlands in an exciting match-up, but both teams will be missing key players due to injuries. The 35-year-old Barcelona striker, Robert Lewandowski, suffered a thigh injury during Poland’s final warm-up friendly against Turkey. As a result, towering striker Adam Buksa is expected to take his place in the lineup, with Karol Swiderski and Krzysztof Piatek as potential alternatives.
On the other hand, the Netherlands will be without De Jong and Koopmeiners in midfield, as they are set to be replaced by PSV Eindhoven duo Jerdy Schouten and Joey Veerman. Meanwhile, Stefan de Vrij will continue to partner with captain Virgil van Dijk in defense.
The predicted lineups for the match are as follows:
Poland XI: Szczesny; Bednarek, Dawidowicz, Kiwior; Frankowski, Moder, Slisz, Zalewski; Zielinski, Urbanski; Buksa
Netherlands XI: Verbruggen; Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake; Reijnders, Schouten, Veerman; Simons, Depay, Gakpo
The match is scheduled to take place at 2pm BST on Sunday, June 16, 2024, at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg. Both teams will be looking to secure a victory in this highly anticipated showdown. Stay tuned for an exciting match between Poland and the Netherlands!
