Poland head coach Adam Nawalka is "convinced" that his team will respond to their surprise 2-1 defeat to Senegal in their opening World Cup match.

Poland head coach Adam Nawalka has insisted that his team will bounce back from defeat to Senegal in their opening World Cup match.

Nawalka's side were favourites to earn victory in the Group H clash, but they ended up losing 2-1, with Grzegorz Krychowiak scoring what turned out to be a consolation goal.

Next up for Poland will be Colombia, and that is when Nawalka believes his nation will show their worth.

"I think we have a lot of stamina and strength within the team to start our match against Colombia with full strength," he told reporters.

"I'm convinced we will recuperate and regenerate after this match. We will have a positive attitude in the next match."

The victory for Senegal came in just their second-ever appearance at a World Cup.
