Lewandowski had previously announced that he would not return to the Polish national team. If Michal Probierz, who stripped him of his captaincy was still in charge. Before Probierz resigned from his position with Urban taking over. And planning to persuade the 36-year-old to return to the Poles.
While Szczesny has announced his retirement from international football after Euro 2024. Despite Probierz trying to persuade him to return in January, the player refused. So it may not be easy for Urban to change the mind of the 35-year-old goalkeeper.
‘Life throws us many situations, so we have to be prepared for everything.’ Urban said of his planned trip to speak with Lewandowski and Szczesny.
Now 35, Szczesny is focused entirely on his club role at Barcelona. Where he’s expected to act as a mentor to Joan Garcia, who is set to start as first-choice goalkeeper. While the veteran will provide experience and leadership, his main priority is contributing off the pitch in what is likely the final phase of his career.
