Jakub Moder is in contention start against Spain this SaturdayModer, 22, was left out of Poland’s starting XI for their 2-1 loss to Solvakia in St Petersburg on Monday. It was a rough start to the competition for Paulo Sousa’s team who were favourites to win their Group E opener against the Solvakians, who are ranked a lowly 36th in the world. Sousa opted for experience on Monday but the move backfired on the Portuguese coach, who could now turn to Moder for Saturday’s vital match against a Spain team, who drew their opening match 0-0 against a resilient Sweden outfit on Monday night. Moder also drove forward with purpose with a couple of late runs in Slovak territory. His impressive cameo display, coupled with the dismissal of Krychowiak, should be enough for Moder to claim his starting spot against Luis Enrique’s Spain.
