Porto defender’s brother reveals: “The pain has bothered him for weeks” | OneFootball

Jan Bednarek was taken off at the 19th minute of the match between Famalicão and FC Porto due to complaints about his left knee and will not join the Polish national team camp.

According to statements from Francesco Farioli after the game, everything indicates that it is not something serious. However, Filip, the Polish central defender's brother and also a footballer, revealed that the player wearing the number 5 jersey for the Dragons has been playing with pain "for several weeks."

"Jan has been playing with pain for several weeks. In this last game, he felt a negative stimulus in his knee and the injury worsened. It is not serious, but the pain bothers him. It will do him good to rest," assured the Sparta Rotterdam goalkeeper, quoted by TVP Sport channel.

Jacek Jaroszewski, the doctor of the Polish national team, also spoke to the same media outlet. "I am in contact with the club doctors of our players. I saw the exams of Jan [Bednarek] and Lukasz [Skorupski] and my assessment was the same in both cases. It makes no sense to bring injured players to Warsaw," he stated.
