Beenhakker changes Poland squad

Four absentees
The Dutchman is a missing a number of key men, not least suspended FC Spartak Moskva goalkeeper Wojciech Kowalewski who was in outstanding form against the Portuguese. Paweł Golański, Arkadiusz Radomski and Ireneusz Jeleń are also absent through injury. Wisła Kraków duo Dariusz Dudka and Paweł Brożek have been drafted in by Beenhakker for the first time, although both travelled to the FIFA World Cup.

Uncapped Murawski
Lech Poznań midfielder Rafal Murawski is the only uncapped player involved. "I was shocked to receive the call-up," said the 25-year-old. "I just couldn't believe it." Beenhakker, who lives in Brussels, added: "I'm disappointed with the timing of the match as I had ten days to prepare the boys for our other games, but we'll have to handle this problem in the best possible way." Poland and Belgium both have seven points from four games and trail leaders Serbia by three points.
