It has been confirmed that Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich won't be joining up with the Poland squad for their upcoming international matches later this month. Paulo Sousa's side take on Scotland in a friendly on Thursday, March 24 and then the winner of Sweden and Czech Republic on Tuesday, March 29.
Poland were scheduled to take on Russia in the other World Cup play-off semi-final, but that game has been postponed due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Sousa's men have therefore been given a bye to the final after FIFA latterly banned the Russians from any involvement.
However, Klich won't be able to feature in the final after he picked up yellow cards in the games against Andorra and Hungary and is due to serve a one-game suspension in their next competitive game. This could prove to be a dent for Poland's chances of qualifying for the World Cup after he impressed in their recent internationals.
