Poland have revealed that captain Maciej Zurawski is likely to miss the rest of the tournament with a thigh muscle injury.

The 31-year-old striker was withdrawn at half-time during Sunday's 2-0 opening Group B defeat to Germany in Klagenfurt and is unlikely to regain fitness in time to make another appearance.

"Maciej Zurawski has strained quads and has some bleeding so it's likely he will not be available for the team, maybe even until the end of the tournament," said team doctor Jerzy Grzywocz.

"For the moment he will not participate in the next two games."

Grzywocz also revealed that midfielder Mariusz Lewandowski has an ankle knock but is expected to be available for Poland's next game against Austria on Thursday.
