Poland goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak has been ruled out of Euro 2008 with a back injury and replaced by Wojciech Kowalewski.
"After a spine scan in hospital in Graz and after consultations with a UEFA doctor it has been assessed that Kuszczak will be out for three weeks," said a team spokesperson.
The 26-year-old Manchester United shot-stopper was back-up for first choice Artur Boruc, the Celtic custodian who has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich.
Arsenal reserve keeper Lukasz Fabianski is the other goalkeeper in Poland's squad.
Kowalewski, who plays for Korona Kielce, has 10 caps and played three times during Poland's qualifying campaign.
The 31-year-old was in coach Leo Beenhakker's provisional squad but was cut from the final 23. Teams were allowed to make last-minute changes due to injuries.
Kuszczak joined United from West Brom in 2006 and has gone on to make 29 appearances for the first-team as cover for Edwin van der Sar.
Poland begin their campaign against Group B rivals Germany in Klagenfurt on Sunday, the country's second loss after winger Jakub Blaszczykowski suffered a hamstring strain that ended his interest.

Actually, Dudek is completely outy of shape right now, Boruc is way better (one of the best goalkeepers in the world), and Fabianski is very good, too. He lost only 13 goals during the whole season back when he was playing for Legia Warszawa, and he's still improving. I'm not sure if he's not better than Kuszczak.
Wow, very interesting Lucy! Why don't you go and put your nice advertisement on another site. Don't ruin a good site with your stupid photos!
What a pity,but now he can spend more time at his girlfriend aside.He met a tall beauty on a famous dating site,*****seekingtall com****,there are full professional players ,super models on that site,Thousands of adults are
waiting to hook up!!!!!!
Yea why is Dudek is not part of the team. He was one of the best Polish goalie and I bet he still got it.
Actually Kowalewski is a good choice for a third goalkeeper. He`s reliable, experienced player. As for Dudek - since he played only a few matches last season he`s probably not in his best shape.
As for the young Fabianski - don`t forget he`s a candidate for Arsenal`s first team - he`s got to be a fine player.

Dudek is past his best. Boruc is number one but it would be a good idea to call Dudek in as third choice
Lucy go somewhere else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The most important single factor in individual success is COMMITMENT. Commitment ignites action. Dating someone who really understands the word 'commitment' on~ "UniformedCupid.com"~~
will lead u to success!
