Poland striker Robert Lewandowski will miss his side’s opening Euro 2024 game against the Netherlands on Sunday because of a thigh injury.
The 35-year-old incurred the injury during a 2-1 victory against Turkey on Monday, which served as the teams’ last warm-up match before the tournament.
Lewandowski, who represents Barcelona, was substituted after 33 minutes of play.
Poland is scheduled to face Austria in their subsequent match on June 21, followed by their final Group D encounter against France on June 25.
“Lewandowski suffered a rupture of the biceps femoris muscle, which will exclude him from the first match of the tournament,” said a Poland statement.
Defender Pawel Dawidowicz and striker Karol Swiderski also suffered injuries but should “return to full training within three to four days”.
