OM: towards a two-week absence for Milik – Daily Mercato

If the Poland coach was initially optimistic about the state of health of his striker Arkadiusz Milik, the OM striker will finally be absent for the next two weeks or so. Out on injury during the friendly match between Scotland and Poland (1-1) last Thursday, Arkadiusz Milik suffers from a hamstring injury and will miss the next two weeks of competition. It was Jakub Kwiatkowski, press officer for the Polish Football Federation, who formalized the news on his Twitter account on Friday evening, while coach Czeslaw Michniewicz had nevertheless been more reassuring the day before. The 28-year-old striker is therefore already forfeited for the final of the play-offs for the 2022 World Cup between Poland and Sweden next Tuesday, but also for the trip from OM to Saint-Étienne. Saturday April 2 (30th day of L1). It now remains to be seen whether Arkadiusz Milik will be able to play in the quarter-final first leg of the Europa League Conference against PAOK Salonika, scheduled for Thursday April 7 at the Stade Vélodrome. If we stick to the timing communicated above, the answer is no, but it will necessarily depend on the evolution of his injury and the speed at which he recovers.
