Poland
Poland head coach Heynen decided to cross out four players from the roster that competed in the Nations League Final Six in Lille (Bartłomiej Lemański, Maciej Muzaj, Bartosz Bednorz and Michał Żurek) and one player that would certainly be on the squad if he did not undergo appendectomy – Mateusz Mika, WP SportoweFakty revealed. Heynen summoned these four players for the World Championship instead: Dawid Konarski, Piotr Nowakowski, Michał Kubiak and Tomasz Fornal.
