Before the Fornal had to finally give up the game, he managed to delight with his will to fight, serving opponents, among others ASA, or supporting the team in several actions. Coach Nikola Grbić did not want to risk the health of his ace, and the match with Brazil “finished” a duo of the receiving Wilfredo Leon and Kamil Semeniuk.

There are many indications that in such a set Poles will start a Sunday match with Italy.

Certainly positive signals are the news from the volleyball player himself, who on Saturday evening threw a positive message on social media, about which we informed in a separate text.

In addition, a recording (on Instagram PZPS) appeared from Sunday morning training, pre -final, in which Fornal took part. Although what is important, the recording can only be seen in the ball before the host, and not, for example, the moment of the attack itself.

It is also worth recalling that a similar situation – although more spread over time – took place on the occasion of the 2024 Olympic tournament. Fornal suffered an ankle injury in the first group match against Egypt. Ultimately, the Pole returned to the game in Paris in the match … against Italy. At that time, however, the time between injury and return was much longer than just a dozen or so hours dividing the semi -final and the final of the event closing this season of the League of Nations.
