Jan Urban recalls Karol Świderski as midfielder for Poland Nations League squad

Poland head coach Jan Urban has recalled Karol Świderski to the national squad for the November training camp, classifying the Widzew Łódź player as a midfielder for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Romania and Sweden. The 29-year-old has accumulated 55 caps for Poland and recently scored four goals in five league matches since the last international break.

Urban emphasized his trust in Świderski, noting that the player offers versatility by contributing significantly in both defensive and offensive phases rather than operating as a traditional number nine. This selection follows a period where Świderski helped Widzew Łódź secure a 3:0 victory over Pogoń Szczecin, reinforcing his current form after facing criticism during the previous national team gathering.

The upcoming Nations League matches carry significant weight for the coaching staff, with reports suggesting Urban’s position could be jeopardized if Poland fails to secure points against Romania and Sweden. Despite past scrutiny regarding Świderski's inclusion, the head coach has publicly guaranteed his confidence in the player's work rate and tactical fit for the current squad requirements.
