Poland’s new manager, Jan Urban, confirmed today that Robert Lewandowski is willing to return to international duty. Urban spoke with Lewandowski by phone, and the striker expressed his readiness to come back, marking a significant step forward.
Discussions are now underway regarding whether Lewandowski will regain the captain’s armband. Urban emphasized that he intends to consult not only with Lewandowski but also with Piotr Zielinski and the wider team council before making a final decision.
This development is crucial as Poland prepares for two key World Cup qualifiers—against the Netherlands on September 4, followed by a home fixture versus Finland on September 7. Poland currently sits third in their qualifying group, trailing behind Finland and the Netherlands. Given Lewandowski’s status as the all-time top scorer with 85 goals in 158 appearances, his potential return is seen as vital to Poland’s qualification hopes.
