Poland NT flies out to South Africa

Here is the final squad that flew out for Africa on Monday:

Goalkeepers: Ł. Fabiański (Arsenal), Ł. Załuska (Dundee), S. Przyrowski (Polonia W.)

Defenders: D. Dudka (Auxerre), M. Żewłakow (Olympiakos), B. Bosacki (Lech), J. Wawrzyniak (Panathinaikos), J. Krzynówek (Hannover), J. Rzeźniczak, M. Komorowski (both Legia), P. Polczak (Cracovia Kraków)

Midfielders: Ł. Trałka (Polonia W.), Roger (Legia), W. Łobodziński (Wisła), T. Bandrowski, S. Peszko, J. Wilk, R. Murawski (all Lech)

Strikers: R. Lewandowski (Lech), M. Saganowski (Southampton), D. Janczyk (Lokeren)


It's a somewhat rag tag group of players, truth be told. Players missing include Artur Boruc, Jakub Blaszczykowski, Ireneusz Jelen, Ebi Smolarek, Marcin Wasilewski, Rafal Boguski, Pawel Brozek, Mariusz Lewandowski, Tomasz Jodlowiec and the perpetually bad-luck Dawid Nowak. Nowak is 4-for-4 -- 4 times Leo has called him up and 4 times he has been ruled out with injury.

It's quite clear that the timing of the friendlies affected some of the missing player's willingness to participate. Poland plays South Africa on June 6 and Iraq on June 9.
