Nikola Grbić's Key Decision! This Volleyball Player Knows Italians Well
As expected, the Polish coach didn't want to take any unnecessary risks with Tomasz Fornal's health. The Polish striker suffered an injury during Saturday's semifinal against Brazil. Ultimately, despite efforts to aid Fornal's return to full fitness, Nikola Grbić opted for another player in the starting lineup.
Together with Wilfredo Leon, Kamil Semeniuk forms the receiving pair.
It's worth noting that the Polish international has been playing on the Italian Peninsula since 2022. Moreover, he and Leon played for the same team in Perugia. It's safe to say that competing against Italy will be special for Semeniuk. With his club, the Pole won the Champions League in the 2024/25 season, among other titles.
Semeniuk performed very well during the tournament at Ergo Arena. In Tricity, he was one of the most important players in coach Grbić's team. Ultimately, however, the Serbian coach opted for a starting lineup for the final tournament with Leon and Fornal. Semeniuk certainly offers a lot of composure in the reception department, but he can also contribute offensively.
