Jan Urban has officially selected the Poland national team squad for the concluding November UEFA Nations League matches against Romania and Sweden. These fixtures represent the end of the current campaign for the national side, with the team needing results to improve their standing after a mixed run of form in previous international windows.

Poland currently occupies third place in their group with four points. The upcoming November gathering is expected to be pivotal not only for the team's position in the competition but also potentially for Urban's tenure as head coach, following inconsistent performances during the September-October window that included a goalless draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina, a loss to Sweden, a 6-0 victory over Romania, and a subsequent defeat in Zenica.

The selected goalkeepers for this critical period are Mateusz Kochalski, Sławomir Abramowicz, and Bartłomiej Drągowski. In defense, Urban has called upon Jan Bednarek, Matty Cash, Tomasz Kędziora, Jakub Kiwior, Przemysław Frankowski, Oskar Kubiak, Kacper Potulski, Tymoteusz Puchacz, and Kamil Piątkowski to handle the defensive duties across the two remaining fixtures.

The midfield contingent features Bartosz Mazurek, Wiktor Nowak, Michał Skóraś, Sebastian Szymański, Nicola Zalewski, Piotr Zieliński, Marcel Reguła, Kacper Urbański, Łukasz Poręba, and Karol Świderski. Up front, the attacking options consist of Robert Lewandowski, Adrian Benedyczak, and Mateusz Żukowski as Poland seeks to secure necessary points before the conclusion of the league phase.
