Spain got some good news after its opening match, with captain Sergio Busquets testing negative for the coronavirus after missing the Sweden game following a positive COVID-19 test.
Aside from Busquets, all the focus will be on a pair of strikers who are under pressure to perform. Spain fans have taken aim at Alvaro Morata and are counting on him to find his scoring form.
There are even higher expectations on Poland’s record-setting Robert Lewandowski, whose checkered record at international tournaments is in contrast to his sensational record while playing for his club, Bayern Munich.
“Lewandowski remains the main threat for them in attack,” Spain’s Pablo Sarabia said in pre-match comments. “We all know what kind of season he has had. He is a reference worldwide. We will try to make him as uncomfortable as possible so he can’t have a good game.”
