Poland's World Cup campaign is close to kick-off. With that, squad selection is an inevitable task awaiting the national team manager.
The European nation has been placed in Group H, with the Biało-czerwoni being pitted against Japan, Colombia, and Senegal. The competition will not be easy, but Lewandowski and Co. stand a great chance of making the knockout. Here are the players chosen to fulfill that task.
Coach's objective
Adam Nawalka is the man in charge of Poland, and as stated before, he should lead his side into the round of 16. This would not be the first time he has made the knockout stage, as he achieved a similar feat in Euro 2016.
New faces
There isa few new face in Poland's final squad. Jan Bednarek, who earned his first cap in the home win over Kazakhstan, has been handed a nod.
Veterans
Robert Lewandowski will be an experienced figure in the dressing room. He should also be the source of inspiration, as his deadliness in front of goal could be crucial. Furthermore, Lukasz Fabianski and Wojciech Szczesny are two reliable figures in goal.
Big absentees
Bartosz Kapustka, who was at one point Poland's most promising player, has not made the cut. Arkadiusz Milik is out due to injury.
Full squad
Goalkeepers: Bartosz Bialkowski, Lukasz Fabianski, Lukasz Skorupski, Wojciech Szczesny
Defenders: Jan Bednarek, Bartosz Bereszynski, Thiago Cionek, Kamil Glik, Artur Jedrzejczyk, Michal Pazdan, Lukasz Piszczek
