Robert Lewandowski was on target for Poland in a 1-0 win over Lithuania in World Cup qualifying but also asked to be substituted just before the final whistle.
The 36-year-old spoke after the match and said he’s been bothered by a niggle for a few weeks and didn’t want to make the injury worse.
“I’ve had some problems for three games, but today it was better,” he told reporter.
“In the end, it was better to let go off, so nothing would get worse. I think everything should be fine. I hope it’s not a big problem.
