'I'll definitely be there' - Lewandowski eager to face Nigeria again ahead of Poland squad announcement

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has expressed his desire to face the Super Eagles once again ahead of Poland's squad announcement for the friendly against the African giants.

According to reports in the Polish media, including Gol24, Poland manager Jan Urban is expected to unveil his squad for the upcoming friendlies against Ukraine and Nigeria on Tuesday, May 26 — two days before the start of the national team's training camp.

Robert Lewandowski has no plans to retire from international football despite Poland's failure to qualify for the 2026 Fifa World Cup, and has assured the coaching staff that he will report for the May training camp.

The 37-year-old captained Poland in their 1-0 defeat to the Super Eagles in a pre-World Cup friendly at Tarczyński Arena Wrocław in March 2018, with former Chelsea winger Victor Moses scoring the match-winning goal from the spot shortly after the hour mark.

"As for the June training camp, I'll definitely be there ," Lewandowski said during an interview with Eleven Sports.

"Due to the situation with Jacek Magiera, this training camp may be a bit different, paying tribute to the coach. It was important to me that I wanted to be there, participate in these matches, and say goodbye to him."

Lewandowski has represented Poland at six major tournaments, including four European Championships (2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024), scoring six goals, and two Fifa World Cups (2018 and 2022), where he found the net twice.
