#SQUAD

Coach Valery Karpin gave a list of the 23 players who will fly to Warsaw for the first play-off match in the Europa League against Legia. Amongst those present is Emmanuel Emenike, who has recently joined Spartak after being bought from Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü for 10 million Euro.

Now we know names of 18 players who could play tomorrow against Polonia Bytom. Few injured players are now ready to play - Dickson Choto, Takesure Chinyama, Marcin Mięciel and Maciej Iwański. Bartłomiej Grzelak and Tomasz Jarzębowski still aren't ready to play in that match. In Legia's squad for Friday's match there is no Ariel Borysiuk and Krzysztof Ostrowski. After Roger's transfer to AEK, bigger chance to play from the first minute has Marcin Smoliński. Legia's squad for the match against Polonia Bytom:

Artur Jędrzejczyk and Adrian Paluchowski have been called up by coach Stefan Majewski to the new-created U-23 Polish national team for the game against Wales. At first, there is going to be a preparatory camp (3.09.-7.09.) in Warsaw. The match takes place on 8th September at 7.30 p.m. at Richmond Park Carmarthen in Wales. Two footballers will be called up when Polish national team’s coach, Leo Beenhakker, chooses the squad for the match Poland – Northern Ireland.

Ariel Borysiuk and Maciej Rybus are in the wide squad of the Polish youth national team for the preparatory camp which takes place between 30th August and 9th September. From the wide squad coach Andrzej Zamilski will choose 18 players who will participate in the preparatory camp in Grodzisk Wielkopolski. Within the framework of the camp there are going to be two qualifying matches of the UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship (Spain – Poland on 4th September and Poland – Finland on 8th September) played.

Jakub Rzeźniczak, Marcin Komorowski and Roger Guerreiro are in the squad for the friendly game against Greece which takes place in Bydgoszcz on 12th August. At first, Jakub Wawrzyniak was also taken into consideration, however due to his disqualification Leo Beenhakker had to remove him from the squad.

There are only few changes in the squad for the match against Broendby which were put into effect by Legia's coach, Jan Urban. Surprisingly, Marcin Smoliński returns on the field. "I had a dilemma who to call up for the Thursday game. The rivalry in the team goes on and I think I have chosen the most powerful eighteen footballers I could. There are going to be changes in the squad. What kind of? You'll see tomorrow. I still have some doubts and I don't know who I am going to choose the next day" – admitted Legia's coach.
