Poland midfielders Michael Ameyaw and Przemyslaw Frankowski will miss the match against Portugal, on Friday, in Porto, in the fifth round of Group 1 of League A of the Nations League.
“Physical problems prevent both footballers from playing in the next matches of the Polish national team. Przemyslaw Frankowski suffered a minor injury to one of his adductor muscles, while Michael Ameyaw is suffering from post-traumatic swelling and pain in the biceps femoris muscle. The clinical examination and the imaging tests allow us to predict that he will return to the game in about 10 days”, said the Poles.
Ameyaw, 24, plays for Raków Czestochowa, and Frankowski, who also plays on the wing, is 29 and represents French side Lens.
These absences are in addition to those of Poland’s main star, striker Robert Lewandowski, whose absence has already been announced.
Portugal face Poland on Friday, at Estádio do Dragão, in Porto, at 7:45 p.m., and visit Croatia, in Split, on November 18, at 8:45 p.m. local time (7: 45pm in Lisbon), when just one point is enough to ensure you qualify for the quarter-finals.
Donatas Rumsas from Lithuania will manage the clash against the Poles.
Portugal leads Group A1, with 10 points, three more than Croatia, who have seven, with both teams followed by Poland, with four, and Scotland, with one.
The top two teams from each of the four groups in League A of the fourth edition of the competition will advance to the semi-finals.
Portugal won the first edition of the Nations League in 2019, beating the Netherlands 1-0 in the final, at Estádio do Dragão, in Porto, thanks to a goal from Gonçalo Guedes, and reached A League group stage in 2020/21 and 2022/23.
