federation (PZPN) announced on Monday.

Rybus, 32, had been
criticized for joining
Spartak Moscow this month on a free transfer after
spending the past five years playing for Lokomotiv Moscow.
Coach Czeslaw
Michniewicz told the player that “due to his current club situation, he would
not be called up for the national team’s September training camp and will not
take him into account when determining the composition of the team for the
World Cup in Qatar,” the PZPN said in a brief statement.
Veteran Rybus is
one of Poland’s most experienced defenders having represented his country in 66
international matches.
Poland have been
drawn in Group C in the World Cup which begins on November 21 along with
Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.
Poland refused to
play Russia in their scheduled World Cup play-off semifinal in March following
the invasion of Ukraine.
