Daily Newswatch: July 2, 2009

- In the First Qualifying Round for the Europa League, Polonia Warszawa defeated Buducnost Podgorica (2:0) in their first leg in Montenegro. The goals for Polonia were scored by Igor Kozioł (53') and Tomasz Jodłowiec (64'). With a strong win away from home, Polonia is almost guaranteed to qualify for the next round. Polonia Warszawa squad: Polonia Warszawa: Przyrowski - Mynar, Jodłowiec, Skrzyński, Zasada, Sokołowski (89' Mąka), Kozioł, Majewski, Lato, Sarvas (61' Mierzejewski), Ivanovski (73' Chałbiński).

- After spending three seasons at Arminia Bielefeld, 32 year old Artur Wichniarek is returning to Hertha Berlin. The Polish striker signed a two year deal with the 4th place Bundesliga team. At Hertha BSC, he will team up with fellow Pole, Łukasz Piszczek. Together they will be playing in the Playoff Round for the Europa League.

- There are rumours that Premiership clubs Fulham and West Ham United are interested in buying Polish forward Paweł Brożek from Wisła Krakow. Brożek has repeatedly expressed that he does not want to move to any eastern european league, even though there have been interest from those clubs. It will be a tough decision for Wisła to sell their star forward, as the will be hard pressed to find a replacement for their campaign to qualify for the Champions League.
