Kuba Blaszczykowski Injured.

The unavoidable had to happen, we’ve got the first more serious injury on the preparatory camp. And who else than Kuba Blaszczykowski who had a lot of injury problems this season and went so far even to criticise his club’s (Borussia Dortmund) medical staff.

Everybody knew that something was wrong when Kuba hobbled off the field during the last friendly game against FC Schaffhausen. For the last two days all the Bialo Czerwoni fans lived in uncertainty. After today’s medical examination we’re no longer in the dark: Kuba won’t play in the friendlies before the Euros but it’s possible he’ll be ready for the game against Germany. Blaszczu outstretched his left leg’s biceps muscle (if I got the medical info right); fortunately it’s not the same injury he suffered during the season. I say we pray that he’s ready for the Germans; Kuba is our most dynamic player and the best dribbler (Roger is quite close). He offers something unexpected and spectacular in our offense. His backup, Wojciech Lobodzinski, is capable of putting a good performance but I don’t rate him as a player who can change a course of a game. Get well Kuba, we’re counting on you.

Some interesting opinions from Leo in today’s press conference. First of all, he’s stunned by Zurawski’s form (in a positive way, of course). Lobodzinski was also singled out for praise. On contrary, not so good news for Radek Matusiak; Leo called his form at the beginning of the camp a catastrophe. Now it looks a bit better, but Matusiak must work hard to convince Leo to include him in the squad. At the same time Beenhakker is praising Radek’s talent and potential. I think that it’s a smart psychological move by our coach, he’s signalling that he expects more from the Heerenveen striker. Now it’s up to Matusiak to deliver, fair play. As for Bronowicki’s injury, he’s chances of playing in the Euros are 50/50. Our physio says that the final decision will be made on wednesday. Leo lists Wawrzyniak, Golanski and Zewlakow (although he wants him to play in the centre) as possible options at left back. None of them look convincing to me, I wouldn’t like to lose Zewlakow in the centre. Finally, Roger’s name has been changed by players to Jasiu Rogerski. A good proof that everything’s well with the morale inside the team. Now it’s time to show this morale on the field.
