Jan Urban, the new head coach of the Polish national team, confirmed the return of star Robert Lewandowski to the squad after a phone conversation between them, ending the controversy surrounding the player's resignation after losing the captaincy.

This statement came from the coach during a radio interview, where Urban confirmed that Lewandowski agreed to return, noting that the final decision regarding the captaincy is still under discussion with the players.

This announcement comes amid Lewandowski's absence from the start of the 2025/2026 La Liga season with Barcelona due to injury, which may also affect his participation in the upcoming international matches scheduled for September.

The Polish national team faces significant challenges in the World Cup qualifiers, as they currently sit third in their group behind the Netherlands and Finland, with a tough schedule that includes an anticipated match against the Netherlands on September 4, followed by a crucial encounter against Finland.
