MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - Poland goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny will miss their final Euro 2016 Group C match against Ukraine through injury, coach Adam Nawalka said on Monday.

The Poles, second in the group with four points, are bidding to reach the European Championship knockout stages for the first time but must cope on Tuesday without Szczesny, who damaged a thigh muscle in the opening match against Northern Ireland.
