Poland were defeated late in their opening match of the 2024 Euros against the Netherlands, 2-1. Missing from Poland’s starting lineup was Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, who missed the match due to a thigh injury.

Despite the missing striker, Poland did manage an early lead thanks to former New England Revolution striker Adam Buksa.

Still, it was not enough, and Poland now faces a must-win situation in order to stay alive in the 2024 Euros. Up next for Michal Probierz’s side is Austria, who were defeated by France 1-0.

Robert Lewandowski is reported by Yahoo Sports to be replacing Buksa up top, and Karol Swiderski could be sliding into the lineup, making his case with a strong cameo off the bench. Jakub Moder could also get the nod to start in midfield.
