ARTUR BORUC (Celtic, 20/02/80)

Commanding goalkeeper who has played a pivotal role in Celtic's success in Scotland since arriving from Legia Warsaw in 2005.

Although no stranger to controversy during his time in Scotland, he is a real favourite with the Hoops fans but a good tournament in Austria and Switzerland could be the springboard for him to move on, with many English Premier League and Italian Serie A clubs reportedly interested.

LUKASZ FABIANSKI (Arsenal, 18/04/85)

Having started out at Lech Poznan, Fabianski moved to Legia Warsaw in 2005 and showed enough promise to be snapped up by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger for an undisclosed fee.

So far he has been restricted to just five appearances for the Gunners - all in the League Cup - but he is viewed as one for the future and a long-term successor for Jens Lehmann and Manuel Almunia.

TOMASZ KUSZCZAK (Manchester United, 20/03/82)

Kuszczak began his career with Slask Wroclaw but moved over the border to Germany and Uerdingen in 1999, before a switch to Hertha Berlin the following year.

He moved to West Brom in 2004 where he was involved in their great escape from relegation in 2005 but was unable to help them avoid the drop in his second season but earned a surprise move to Manchester United - initially on loan - where he has proved a more than able deputy to Edwin van der Sar.

DEFENDERS

JACEK BAK (FK Austria, 24/03/73)

There is probably no player in the finals with quite such an incentive to do well as veteran Bak, who could reach 100 caps during the tournament - provided he also features in all of the Poles' build-up friendlies.

Based in Austria, Bak's career has taken him to French sides Lyon and Lens as well as Qatari outfit Al-Rayyan, while the versatile defender has been a mainstay of the Poland squad for many years.

GRZEGORZ BRONOWICKI (Red Star Belgrade, 04/08/80)

Bronowicki began his career at Górnik Leczna and was there for eight years, save for one season at Lewart Lubartów before a move to Legia Warsaw in 2005.

He impressed at Legia and finally made his national team breakthrough in 2006, and quickly became a regular international squad member, before swapping Legia for Red Star in 2007.

MARIUSZ JOP (FC Moscow, 03/08/78)

Jop began the 2006 World Cup at the heart of the Poland defence, but the surprise 2-0 defeat to Ecuador in that first game proved to be his only appearance in the finals.

After starting out at KSZO Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, Jop won three Polish titles with Wisla Krakow and also spent time on loan with Widzew Lodz, but now plays his club football in Russia with FC Moscow.

MICHAL ZEWLAKOW (Olympiacos, 22/04/76)

Zewlakow has been a mainstay of the Poland defence since breaking into the team in 1999, winning more than 70 caps on the left-hand side of the defence.

The attacking full-back - who is also a dead-ball specialist - is currently playing in Greece with Olympiacos after eight years playing in Belgium, where he represented Beveren, Mouscron and Anderlecht.

ADAM KOKOSZKA (Wisla Krakow, 06/10/86)

Young Kokoszka is certainly one for the future, having been handed his international debut as a 20-year-old against the United Arab Emirates.

Plying his trade for Wisla Krakow - his only professional club - Kokoszka is a danger in the other penalty area as well, as two goals in his first five international appearances show.

MARCIN WASILEWSKI (Anderlecht, 09/06/80)

Tall right-back Wasilewski made his international debut in 2002, but Euro 2008 will be his first international tournament if he wins a place in the squad.

He moved to Anderlecht in January 2011 and has impressed for the Belgian champions, while he is also renowned for his aerial prowess from set-pieces, which has led to him scoring an uncharacteristic number of goals for a full-back.

JAKUB WAWRZYNIAK (Legia Warsaw, 07/07/83)

The versatile Wawrzyniak can play in either defence or midfield and will be hoping to make the squad, having only made his international debut 18 months ago.

After a nomadic early career, he made his breakthrough at Widzew Lódz but now plies his trade at Legia Warsaw.

DARIUSZ DUDKA (Wisla Krakow, 09/12/83)

Dudka is equally at home in defence or as a defensive midfielder and made a single substitute appearance in the 2006 World Cup.

Domestically, he began his career with hometown club Celuloza Kostrzyn before a move to Amica Wronki, which in turn led to a switch to Wisla Krakow in 2005.

MIDFIELDERS

AREK RADOMSKI (FK Austria, 27/06/77)

A relative late bloomer, Radomski had to wait until the age of 26 before making his international debut after a career almost exclusively played in Holland.

A holding midfielder, Radomski made just two appearances in the Polish league with Lech Poznan before moving to the Netherlands, firstly with BV Veendam and then with top-flight Heerenveen, before joining FK Austria in 2005.

JAKUB BLASZCZYKOWSKI (Borussia Dortmund, 14/12/85)

The pacy and skilful Blaszczykowski is normally deployed as a right-winger, but his defensive abilities mean he is not out of place in a wing-back role.

The nephew of former Poland skipper Jerzy Brzeczek, Blaszczykowski currently plays for German side Borussia Dortmund after leaving Wisla Krakow on a Bosman free transfer in the summer of 2007 and was a key part of the squad's qualification.

LUKASZ GARGULA (GKS Belchatów, 25/02/81)

Comfortable on the ball and with a good range of passing, Gargula made his breakthrough into the national team in 2006 and has featured on a regular basis ever since.

He plays his club football for GKS Belchatów, one of the less glamorous clubs in the top flight, but was an integral part of the side which finished as runners-up in the Polish league last season.

JACEK KRZYNÓWEK (Wolfsburg, 15/05/76)

Krzynowek brings a wealth of experience at the highest level to the Poland midfield and has been a mainstay of the side since his debut in 1998 when he was with GKS Belchatow in the second division.

With almost 80 caps to his name, he featured in the squads for both the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, and has also played in the Champions League with Bayer Leverkusen, one of three German clubs he has represented.

MICHAL GOLINSKI (Zaglebie Lubin, 17/03/81)

Golinski has enjoyed a renaissance in his international career in recent years and looks well-placed to earn a call-up to the final squad.

The 27-year-old has had three spells at Lech Poznan and two at Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski, before his move to Zaglebie Lubin, where he has earned his first caps since 2004.

MARIUSZ LEWANDOWSKI (Shakhtar Donetsk, 18/05/79)

Another holding player who is equally at home playing in the back line, Lewandowski made two substitute appearances in the 2006 World Cup and is now approaching 50 international caps.

Has been in Ukraine with Shakhtar since 2001, where he has been a key player in a side that has frequently featured in the Champions League.

WOJCIECH LOBODZINSKI (Wisla Krakow, 20/10/82)

Wide man who can also play in attack, Lobodzinski has long been involved in the Poland set-up, featuring in the under-16 side which finished second in the European Championships in 1999 and the under-18s who won the equivalent competition two years later.

Did not progress to the full squad until 2006, but has been a regular squad member since then, with a January move from Zaglebie Lubin to runaway leaders Wisla Krakow only enhancing his chances of a more regular starting spot.

LUKASZ PISZCZEK (Hertha Berlin, 03/06/85)

Capable of playing either in midfield or in attack, Piszczek scored 11 league goals for Hertha Berlin last season, which led to his first international call-up in February 2007.

He has been a regular feature in squads since then and is certainly one for the future who could well have a role to play in the campaign in Austria and Switzerland.

STRIKERS

EBI SMOLAREK (Racing Santander, 09/01/81)

Smolarek is one of the better-known names in the Poland squad despite having never played in his homeland, having been brought up in Germany and Holland where father Wlodzimierz - himself a former Poland international - played for Eintracht Frankfurt, Feyenoord and Utrecht.

It was at Feyenoord where Smolarek junior began his career, before moving to Borussia Dortmund in 2005 and then Racing Santander at the start of this season. Having failed to score in the 2006 World Cup, Smolarek was the Poles' top scorer in qualification for these finals.

MACIEJ ZURAWSKI (AEL Larissa, 12/09/76)

Zurawski may view this tournament as his last chance to shine on the international stage, with his club career having taken a nosedive in recent years.

Two successful - if injury-hit - years at Celtic were followed by a season of frustration in 2007-08, which led to him moving to the Cypriot League in January after just eight goalless appearances for the Hoops.

MAREK SAGANOWSKI (Southampton, 31/10/78)

A relatively disappointing season in the Coca-Cola Championship does not seem to have deprived Saganowski of the chance to play in the finals, with him being named in the provisional squad ahead of the likes of Pawel Brozek, who is the top scorer in the Polish league.

RADOSLAW MATUSIAK (Heerenveen, 01/01/82)

Another member of the famous youth squads of 1999 and 2001, Matusiak bagged three crucial goals in the qualification campaign.

His form both domestically and internationally led to a move to Palermo in January 2007, but he moved on again, to Dutch side Heerenveen in the summer of 2007, but failed to shine and was loaned back to Wisla Krakow in January 2008.
