They both are the cornerstones of the future Polish NT for years to come, assuming, of course, that Kuba stays injury free...
speaking of Kuba... he's injured again! http://www.sport.pl/pilka/1,65029,6244011,Kolejna_kontuzja_Blaszczykowskiego.html what do you guys make of it? when Kuba was targeted this past season and he continued to play despite being kicked and fouled all the time, i was hoping he finally came through his injuries and would though it out but this must be his second or third little muscle strain in a row it would be a HUGE blow (for club and country) if he was sidelined for any length of time
I think this is Dortmund playing games with our squad. Its quite convenient that right at the time of the international friendly schedule, he develops a minor injury that will keep him out of the NT games. That's just my two cents, and yes I am aware of the match they have this weekend vs Bayern, but I suspect that it is so in order to make this "operation", and I dont mean surgery, more legitimate, not necessarily true. I'm sure hell be just fine when they play Schalke and from then on, until the qualifiers that is, when like clock work the problems will return.

Nike is the new sponsor, but the uni's vs Lithuania and Wales are not definitive, just a temp, until they get the final version from Nike at the end of March. http://www.sport.pl/pilka/1,65029,6247032,Reprezentacja_zagra_z_Litwa_i_Walia_w_nowych_strojach.html
