The likes of Robert Lewandowski, Arkadiusz Milik, Kamil Glik, Jan Bednarek, Krzysztof Piatek, and Wojciech Szczesny are set to receive a new teammate in the Poland national team next month…in the form of Aston Villa defender Matty Cash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite being born and bred as an Englishman – having been born in Slough 24 years ago – Cash is eligible for the Poland national team thanks to his Polish mother. This means that Cash can apply for Polish citizenship, an application that was accepted on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“This is a very important and proud day for me and my family. My application to get a Polish citizenship has been approved by the Polish authorities,” Cash wrote in his Instagram post, “Now it’s time for a new challenge. I will give my all for this country.”<\/p>\n

Poland head coach Paulo Sousa was delighted by the enthusiasm shown by Cash’s family in response to the defender potentially representing his national team, saying as quoted from BBC Sport<\/em>, “Playing in the national team is not only a great responsibility but also something additional, which is very difficult to describe in words.”<\/p>\n

Cash has been a regular for Villa in recent times, having been signed on a 5-year contract in September 2020 from Championship side Nottingham Forest. The defender has played in 10 games in all competitions for Villa this season, scoring once in a 3-0 home win against Everton in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The presence of Cash in the Polish defense would undoubtedly provide significant cover for former AS Monaco man Gilk and Southampton man Bednarek, adding more to a backline that also includes Union Berlin’s Tymoteusz Puchacz, Dynamo Kyiv’s Tomasz Kedziora, and Barnsley’s Michal Helik.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
