Not long ago, the coach of Pogoń Szczecin enjoyed a good staff situation. After two matches in the spring round, Jens Gustafsson had more problems. He will be without Benedikt Zech for at least four weeks.

Benedikt Zech injured his knee during training, and the injury requires surgery.

– Tests confirmed meniscus damage. This is an injury that requires surgical treatment, so the defender will undergo surgery on Thursday. In an optimistic scenario, he will return after four weeks – the official website of Pogoń Szczecin quotes Dr. Bartosz Paprota .

Benedikt Zech’s absence is a serious problem for Jens Gustafsson. The center of defense is not a strong position in Pogoń. The Swede will have to choose a successor to the Austrian from the duo of Danijel Loncar and Wojciech Lisowski. The Croatian was also injured until recently, and Pogoń has an intense time ahead of him.

On Friday, the team from Szczecin will host ŁKS Łódź in the PKO Ekstraklasa, and on Tuesday they will play away against Lech Poznań in the quarterfinals of the Fortuna Polish Cup. Pogoń has two league matches in 2024 and won them 1-0 against Śląsk Wrocław and 4-0 against Radomiak. The defense, with Benedikt Zech in the ranks, did well and did not allow a goal to be conceded.
