BERLIN (Reuters) - Austria expect Poland striker Robert Lewandowski to start Friday's Group D game, with both sides hungry for victory after losing their opening matches to France and Netherlands respectively, but coach Ralf Rangnick will not be making many changes to accommodate him.

Although Poland's record goal-scorer missed the 2-1 defeat by the Dutch due to an injury picked up in a friendly against Turkey, Austria coach Rangnick and captain Marcel Sabitzer are convinced he will be back in action on Friday.
