Lech Poznań nears Europa League qualification amid squad updates

Lech Poznań is preparing for the second leg of their Europa League qualifying match against FC Thun in Switzerland. Following a dominant 7-0 victory in the first leg, coach Niels Frederiksen has emphasized a professional approach, stating the team will treat the upcoming match as if the score were 0-0. While the advancement to the league phase appears likely, Frederiksen noted concerns regarding the artificial turf and intends to field a strong lineup, though some rotation may occur. The squad receives a boost with the return of Filip Jagiełło and Patrik Walemark, while goalkeeper Bartosz Mrozek is absent due to a transfer to Udinese.

In club news, Lech Poznań has extended the contract of defender Wojciech Mońka until 2030. The club described the move as a significant step for the young talent, who is considered a high-value asset for future transfers.

Additionally, Jagiellonia Białystok is also on the verge of securing Europa League advancement after a 4-0 win against Iberia 1999 Tbilisi. Both Polish clubs are set to finalize their qualification status in matches scheduled for Thursday.
