The Poland vs Netherlands live stream will kick off the Group D action at Euro 2024 on Sunday, June 16, and both sides will be desperate for a result after enduring late injury scares in the build up to the tournament.
Poland must do without inspirational captain Robert Lewandowski, who pulled a hamstring in Monday's 2-1 friendly defeat of Turkey and faces a fight to play any part in what seems the 35-year-old's final shot at producing in a major tournament final. Though ageing, the Barcelona hitman remains the Eagles' best player so much will depend on the defense, led by qualifying hero Wojciech Szczesny, the former Arsenal goalkeeper's penalty-saving heroics seeing off Wales in the play-offs.
The Dutch aren't without their own injury issues. Influential midfielders Frenkie de Jong and Teun Koopmeiners have left the squad – the former expected after struggling with an ankle complaint, the latter a devastating blow following a fine season at Europa League winners Atalanta – to be replaced by Ian Maatsen and Joshua Zirkzee. Ronald Koeman will rely on captain Virgil van Dijk's leadership abilities more than ever.
Poland are in their fifth straight tournament finals and are on a five-game winning run after a tricky 18 months, so will look to maintain their confidence in their opening fixture. Only Bruno Fernandes of Portugal laid on more assists than right-wing-back Denzel Dumfries in qualifying and the Inter Milan defender will again be the Dutch’s attacking outlet, to go with Virgil van Dijk, who scored in both friendly warm-ups.
The teams are in and Robert Lewandowski misses out for Poland, as expected. The Eagles go with Sebastian Szymanski, Nicola Zalewski and Piotr Zielinski, with Adam Buksa up front. For the Dutch, Virgil van Dijk captains the side, with Cody Gakpo, Memphis Depay and Xavi Simons the creative hub. Tijjani Riejnders also gets the nod and has the youthful brio to impress.
