Jacub Kiwior started at right-back in the 2-0 win over Poland’s Faroe Islands in a back three

Jakub Kiwior absolutely smashes it every time he’s on the pitch. Cool, calm, composed, reads the game well, wins his duels, stops counter attacks in their tracks and has phenomenal recovery pace.

Finally, Mohamed Elneny started in Egypt’s 1-0 friendly win
