Re: WC2010qf:at Northern Ireland 3.28 vs San Marino 04.01 [R] What's the extent of Brozek's injury? Can any of our Wisla insiders tell us? Is he out of consideration for both games, and if so, who replaces him?
Re: WC2010qf:at Northern Ireland 3.28 vs San Marino 04.01 [R] Hopefully not Sosin, but we may not have a choice.
Re: WC2010qf:at Northern Ireland 3.28 vs San Marino 04.01 [R] Apparently he is gone for about a month. http://www.sport.pl/sport/12,65025,..._to_tragedia_dla_Wisly__A_kto_go_zastapi.html
Re: WC2010qf:at Northern Ireland 3.28 vs San Marino 04.01 [R] Unfortunately it is so. Sosin added to the second string lineup. http://www.sport.pl/pilka/1,65046,6393150,Lukasz_Sosin__Czekalem_na_powolanie.html
Re: WC2010qf:at Northern Ireland 3.28 vs San Marino 04.01 [R] Błaszczykowski na badaniach. Tym razem żebra http://www.sport.pl/pilka/1,65046,6414973,Kuba_na_badaniach__Tym_razem_zebra.html will this never end? is Kuba injury prone, or worse, is he becoming afraid of getting hurt?
Re: WC2010qf:at Northern Ireland 3.28 vs San Marino 04.01 [R] Yeah, I hope he's well enough to play bout 60 min vs Northern Ireland, we dont need him for San Marino, but we need 3 pts vs NI, so I hope he's well.
Artur Boruc Marcin Wasilewski, Dariusz Dudka, Michał Żewłakow, Jakub Wawrzyniak Robert Lewandowski, Mariusz Lewandkowski, Roger, Tomasz Bandrowski, Jacek Krzynówek Ireneusz Jeleń. this is the squad Leo 'let slip' to Sport.pl http://www.sport.pl/pilka/1,65029,6437972,Sklad_Polski_na_mecz_z_Irlandia.html Fabianski has some sort of infection and will not be in the squad for the game and i'm thinking that Kuba might be fit for one half only, so it seems that Leo will being him to close out the game rather then to start it
That could be the finishing move. Introducing his fast pace in the second half, after the 60th minute, night be just the thing, if the game is still a stalemate at that time. Though I think Jelen will put us in the "driver's seat" before than.
