Nikola Grbic has a lot of problems ahead of the upcoming European Championship. Bartosz Kurek and Mateusz Benek are still struggling with injuries. The stars of the Polish national team are fighting against time to get back to full strength ahead of important fights.
The European Volleyball Championship is coming up. The wards of Nikola Grbic will play in Group C with North Macedonia, Montenegro, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Denmark. After winning the Nations League, the mood in the team should be positive, but, unfortunately, it is not. All because of the injuries that haunt the stars of our team.
Nikola Grbic reveals details of Bartosz Kurek’s injury
As Bartosz Kurek admitted in Polsat Sport, he will try to recover for the upcoming European Championship. However, he does not guarantee that he will be on them in the best shape. “I’m not at full training yet. I am following my own individual path, which we have chosen with physiotherapists, a coach and fitness trainers. Plans to get to the European Championship. Maybe this form at the beginning of the tournament will not be super-perfect, but I would like to heal this injury, forget about it and play full-time,” Kurek said.
Now Nikola Grbic has spoken more about the health of our captain at TVP Sport, who has a lot of problems with him. – At the moment, Bartosz Kurek cannot jump. This is how he does the first part of the training - working out the protective elements and the like. Performs only controlled tasks in block exercises. When we play six on six, he does not participate in training.
When asked how serious his injury was, the breeder replied that everything was going according to plan, which suggested that he would not jump yet. “We want to strengthen it first, and it’s a process. He has to work on it every day, which he does. He needs time to start participating in regular volleyball training. That is why Bartlemiej Bolondz is with us and will support us until Bartek Kurek recovers, he stressed.
Mateusz Benek can’t train either
The Serbian coach also announced that Mateusz Poremba has joined the team because Mateusz Benek is unable to train at the moment. This is due to a foot problem he already had during the League of Nations this year.
“At the moment it is not known when he will return to training. This does not change the fact that we have two fitness trainers and two physiotherapists working with us, so we are very pleased with the staff. When everyone is 100 percent healthy, then we will shorten the list.
