Former England Defender On Bbc Radio 5 Live You Can See How Well Coached Austria Are

Poland v Austria: Lewandowski set to return

Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live: "You can see how well coached Austria are."

Of Poland's 12 goals scored at the European Championships, five were from Robert Lewandowski.

Poland will face Austria in a crucial match at the European Championships on Thursday, with star striker Robert Lewandowski expected to make his return to the lineup after missing the team's opening game due to injury.

Poland is coming off a disappointing 1-0 loss to Slovakia in their first match of the tournament, while Austria earned a hard-fought 3-1 victory over North Macedonia.

Lewandowski is Poland's all-time leading scorer with 66 goals in 116 appearances, and his return will be a major boost for the team. The 32-year-old Bayern Munich striker is one of the most dangerous forwards in the world, and he will be looking to add to his tally at the European Championships.

Austria will be no pushovers, however. The team is ranked 23rd in the world and has a number of talented players, including David Alaba, Marko Arnautovic, and Marcel Sabitzer.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:00 CEST at the National Stadium in Bucharest, Romania. It will be broadcast live on ITV in the UK and on ESPN in the United States.

CONCLUSION:

Poland will be desperate to get their campaign back on track with a win over Austria, while Austria will be looking to build on their impressive start to the tournament. The match is sure to be a close and exciting contest, with both teams having a chance to qualify for the knockout stages.
