In the tournament, where Poland starts with Japan on Saturday, the squad now has just 14 players from the field, with Argentina and Senegal also in the group.
Poland’s preparations for the Under-17 World Cup, which began in Indonesia on Friday, have been severely damaged after four players sent home from its training camp cannot be replaced.
The Polish Football Association (PZPN) announced on Monday that four players had been expelled from the squad for unsportsmanlike conduct and violations of regulations.
Poland had hoped to replace the four suspended players but were dealt a serious blow due to FIFA rules.
“According to Article 27.3 of the tournament rules, a player on the final roster may only be replaced by a player on the provisional roster in the event of serious injury or illness within 24 hours of their team’s first match kick-off. FIFA told Reuters.
