Several thousand fans turned up at Poland's training session this evening at the home of Polonia Warsaw. It was the co-hosts' first visit to their training base in the capital and coach Franciszek Smuda and his players were welcomed with traditional gifts of bread and salt. The team that played in Saturday's 4-0 win against Andorra went through a light workout while the rest of the squad were put through a more intensive routine.

"I'm pleased with the reception we got from the fans," said goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. "I expected the supporters to turn out in good numbers but there were more here than I expected. Personally, I feel much better after the training camp in Austria. It's important that I can practice now without the injections I had to take (for a shoulder injury) towards the end of the season with Arsenal.

"I didn't have much to do in the game against Andorra or in the games before that," added Szczęsny. "But you don't need to play against teams like Spain and Brazil to prepare for a tournament like this. Hopefully, I'll have as little to do in the games against Greece, Russia and the Czech Republic. It's the biggest tournament of my life and I'm ready for everything."
