Jan Urban declines immediate call-up for Ellis Simms

Poland national team coach Jan Urban has addressed the potential inclusion of Coventry City striker Ellis Simms in the squad. Although the 25-year-old forward has obtained Polish citizenship through his grandmother, Urban stated that Simms has not been called up due to a lack of consistent playing time.

Simms, who has played fewer than 150 minutes this season, has struggled to secure regular appearances for his club. Urban noted that while the coaching staff has been observing the player, his current lack of match fitness and playing minutes makes a selection difficult at this stage. The coach emphasized that holding Polish citizenship does not automatically guarantee a spot in the team, adding that Simms remains available for selection provided he meets the necessary sporting requirements.
