The Polish national team is preparing for the upcoming World Cup, where our neighbors will face Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Argentina in Group C. However, it is likely that the Poles will travel to Qatar without one of their veterans. The Polish Football Federation released a statement confirming that the national team coach, Czeslaw Michniewicz, decided to remove defender Maciej Rybus from the team. This decision was made after the 32-year-old Pole recently decided to move from one Russian club to another, despite the ongoing military actions in Ukraine. The statement from the Polish Football Federation claims that the national team coach personally informed the player about the situation. M. Rybus has played 66 matches for the Polish national team.
