Poland coach Michal Probierz insisted Robert Lewandowski was fully fit to play despite the veteran striker only managing an ineffective appearance as substitute in their 3-1 loss to Austria at Euro 2024 on Friday.
Lewandowski had been struggling with a thigh injury he suffered last week in a friendly against Turkey and missed Poland’s opening 2-1 defeat by the Netherlands.
He came on in the 60th minute with the game level at 1-1 but could not inspire his team as Austria ran out convincing winners. “He was fully fit and he has practised with the team,” said Probierz.
