WARSAW, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Emmanuel Olisadebe has pulled out of Poland's
squad for next month's Euro 2004 qualifiers against Latvia and Sweden,
the latest in a series of international withdrawals by the Nigeria-born
striker.
Olisadebe, who plays for Greek club Panathinaikos, last represented Poland
in a qualifying match against San Marino in April.
He has withdrawn from the three friendlies and one qualifier since, including
a 3-0 defeat by Sweden in June.
Coach Pawel Janas, however, is convinced of Olisadebe's commitment.
'I regret that Oli will not be able to help us against Latvia and Sweden.
I hope he will be fit for the potential qualification decider with Hungary -
if he is I will definitely pick him,' Janas said.
Trailing four points behind leaders Sweden and Hungary in Group Four, Poland
need to win both September qualifiers, in Latvia on September 6 and at home
to Sweden four days later, to have a chance of reaching next year's finals
in Portugal.
Poland lie fourth in the group with seven points, three fewer than third-placed
Latvia. Their last group match is against Hungary on October 11.
