Quote: “At the moment, I don’t see him playing any role in the autumn fixtures. Firstly, it’s too early to talk about that. Let’s imagine a scenario—since no one is really discussing it—where Robert says, ‘I’m truly finished with the national team, I want to focus on my club at the end of my career.’ And what happens then? That’s a possibility.

Of course, from my side, I will do everything I can to prevent that from happening, to bring Robert back. Because I know the current state of Polish football. I know that right now we simply can’t afford to be without Robert in the national team, because I believe we’ve reached many major tournaments thanks largely to his efforts. But I’ll have a conversation with Robert about this, and we’ll see what comes of it,” Urban said in an interview with Łączy nas piłka.
