Warsaw, May 30 (FN Agency) Poland national team head coach Michal Probierz has announced his country’s squad for UEFA Euro 2024, with the most surprising exclusion being Aston Villa defender Matty Cash. “He was injured in recent weeks. I chose Michal Skoras over him. The footballers who were going to Euro 2024 knew about it much earlier. I called them and asked if they were healthy. The point is to prepare certain things,” Probierz said during a press conference on Wednesday. “We really wanted universal players. We respect our opponents, but we are not afraid of them. I want the players to realize that we want to play a good tournament,” the coach added. Poland will start a training camp in Warsaw on Sunday.
