Potsdam, Germany: Robert Lewandowski will "probably" be fit to play in Poland's second Euro 2024 match against Austria in Berlin next week, coach Michal Probierz said on Friday.
The Barcelona striker suffered a thigh injury in Monday's 2-1 friendly win over Turkey and will miss Poland's opening Group D game against the Netherlands in Hamburg on Sunday.
But Probierz is hopeful Lewandowski, Poland's all-time record goalscorer, will be back to face Austria on June 21, contrary to some media reports claiming he could struggle to play any part in the group phase.
"Robert will probably join the team for the match against Austria," said Probierz.
"I'm surprised when I read comments that it's impossible when a muscle is torn. There are different degrees of such an injury.
