The Polish national team will quickly get an opportunity to erase the bad impression after the defeat against Ukraine. The match against Nigeria promises to be interesting, although the rivals will fly to Warsaw without the two most famous names. There is especially a lot going on around Victor Osimhen, whose club future may become clear soon.

Poland will play against Nigeria in Warsaw

The Polish national team had a failed test against Ukraine. The Polish national team lost 0:2, and the goals were scored by Andriy Yarmołenko and Roman Jaremczuk. The result and the style of play left us quite unsatisfied, so the next friendly match will be a chance for the Polish team to improve their mood.

On June 3, Poland will face Nigeria in Warsaw. This is a rival with great potential, especially in attack, but it is known that coach Eric Chelle will not be able to use all the most important players. Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen will be missing from the squad.

Why won’t Ademola Lookman play against Poland?

Lookman’s absence is said to be due to a decision made after talks with Atletico Madrid. The Spanish club asked for the winger to be given time to rest after a grueling season. For this reason, the footballer will not come to Poland and will not play in Wednesday’s match.

This is a serious weakness for Nigeria, because Lookman is one of the players who can create an advantage in attack on their own. His speed, dribbling and activity between formations could cause a lot of problems for the Polish national team. However, the lack of a winger does not mean that the Polish national team will have an easy match.

Victor Osimhen close to transfer

Osimhen’s situation is attracting even more attention. The Galatasaray striker was not included in the plans for the match against Poland because he is supposed to be involved in talks about changing the club. Everything indicates that his stay in Turkey is coming to an end, and the coming weeks may bring one of the most famous transfers of the summer.

For now, it is not certain where the Nigeria representative will end up. Paris Saint-Germain is mentioned among the interested parties, and earlier there was also information about Barcelona. Osimhen has been one of the most valued strikers in Europe for years, so his decision will be closely monitored by fans and the largest clubs.

Nigeria weakened but still dangerous

The absence of Osimhen and Lookman changes the complexion of the match, but does not deprive Nigeria of its quality. The African national team has a wide range of players from strong leagues, and friendly matches are often an opportunity to test players fighting for a bigger role in the national team. For them, playing against Poland may be an important test.

Poles must therefore approach this match with full concentration. After the defeat against Ukraine, not only the result will be important, but also the team’s reaction. The match against Nigeria may show whether the Polish national team can quickly respond to criticism and regain confidence before the next challenges.
