Pogoń Szczecin captain Patryk Dziczek injured in Ekstraklasa defeat
Pogoń Szczecin captain Patryk Dziczek suffered a potentially serious injury during a 3-0 Ekstraklasa loss to Widzew Łódź, prompting concern from coach Óscar García pending further diagnosis.
Widzew Łódź defeated Pogoń Szczecin 3-0 in an Ekstraklasa matchday 14 fixture. Karol Świderski, Steve Kapuadi and Przemysław Wiśniewski scored for Widzew Łódź. The victory was the first for Widzew Łódź under coach Mateusz Stolarski.
Pogoń Szczecin captain Patryk Dziczek suffered an injury during the match and left the field with medical staff assistance. Óscar García stated that the specific injury is unknown and Dziczek will undergo tests the following day. Dominik Markiewicz quoted Óscar García saying regarding the diagnosis that it will be either bad or very bad.
Patryk Dziczek has played 12 Ekstraklasa matches this season with two assists and appeared in the Polish Cup. Pogoń Szczecin suffered their second consecutive defeat after previously losing to Raków Częstochowa.
Alex Haditaghi stated Pogoń Szczecin coach Oscar Garcia has no release clause and remains under a strong contract despite Croatian media reports linking him to Dinamo Zagreb.
Speculation linking Oscar García to Dinamo Zagreb has prompted criticism from Pogoń Szczecin’s owner and cryptic social media activity from the coach following a league defeat.
Polish reports indicate that Pogoń Szczecin has rejected an approach from GNK Dinamo Zagreb for manager Oscar Garcia, clarifying that no specific bid was accepted despite earlier confusion over a three million euro figure.
