- Legia Warsaw staffing problems. The Polish champions cannot use many players
- The reasons are different. From injury to coronavirus. Legia, like other Polish clubs, keep secret who is infected
- Due to the cancellation of the match between PP and Widzew, the training plan of the legionnaires will definitely change
- You can find more such talks on the Onet.pl home page
The Warsaw club does not fully inform who is not training and for what reason. It is said that at least one footballer is currently in quarantine due to coronavirus infection. Others struggle with minor or more serious injuries. The group of absent players during the last match – with Pogoń Szczecin (0: 0) – was very numerous. Trainer Czesław Michniewicz could not use Inaki Astiz, Mateusz Cholewiak, Radosław Cierzniak, Mateusz Hołownia, Bartosz Kapustka, Kacper Kostorz, Cezary Miszta, Wojciech Muzyka, Vamara Sanogo, Marko Vešović, Mateusz Wieteska, Luquinhas and Rafael Lopes.
Two not ready
As if that was not enough, two players – Jose Kante and William Remy – who sat on the bench during the match against Portowcy, were not in full strength. – William’s not ready to play yet. He came with us to feel the atmosphere of the league match again, because it was long gone – said the Legia coach after the tie in Szczecin.
In the case of Kante, the team of Polish champions did not want to risk, because the Guinea representative trained only two days before the meeting with Pogoń.
– There was a risk that Tomaš Pekhart would not play from the first minute. Then we would take a risk and put Kante in the basic squad. We talked to him, we also paid attention to the opinion of our physiotherapists. But we realized that it would be better if he didn’t show up on the pitch – added the coach.
After the last match, Igor Lewczuk has his head cut again this season, who in the confrontation with Pogoń collided with Slovenian Luka Zahovič. The injury is painful, but it probably shouldn’t stop the defender from playing again.[potkaniukolejnyrazwtymsezonierozciętągłowęmaIgorLewczukktórywkonfrontacjizPogoniązderzyłsięzeSłoweńcemLukąZahovičemUrazjestbolesnyaleraczejniepowinienprzeszkodzićdefensorowiwkolejnymwystępie
However, it is not known when it will happen.
There will be a change of plans
In the coming days, Legia had three games planned: on October 30 in the 1/16 finals of the Polish Cup with Widzew Łódź (8.00 p.m.), on November 2 with Warta Poznań (6.00 p.m., overdue from the 6th round of the league) and on November 8 with Lech Poznań (3.00 p.m. ). The first two are away matches. In the text opposite we write that due to the epidemic threat (infection of players in the Widzew team), the skirmish with the Łódź players was postponed to another date. In the current staff situation, such a turn of events is certainly in the hands of Legia, because injured or sick footballers have more time to recover.
Yesterday, the Warsaw team was training in the afternoon. He is also supposed to practice once on Wednesday. In turn, one class was planned on Thursday, after which the team was to go to Łódź for the Friday meeting with Widzew. With the match canceled, the legionnaires’ training plan will definitely change.
