Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny will miss Poland's final Group C match against Ukraine on Tuesday, as he continues to recover from a thigh strain.
Former Arsenal team-mate Lukasz Fabianski, now of Swansea, has deputised for Szczesny as Poland beat Northern Ireland 1-0 and drew 0-0 with Germany.
They are level on four points with Germany and could top the group, having not yet conceded a goal in the competition.
Head coach Adam Nawalka said on Monday: "Wojciech is not ready for the game. All the other players are fit.
"Ukraine is a tough rival and they have individual players with high skill levels so we need to be very well prepared both emotionally and tactically.
"I don't want to speculate whether we will finish top of the group or not. We want to win every game.
"We will go for three points but we know how dangerous Ukraine can be. We want to show Ukraine respect by preparing properly for this game."
Poland have not beaten Ukraine, who cannot make the last-16 after successive defeats, in their last five meetings and lost twice to them during qualifying for the 2014 World Cup.
Winger Slawomir Peszko said: "We are playing well, we just need to be more efficient. We have created a lot of opportunities and sooner or later I hope we will score more goals.
"Since January, I've sacrificed everything to be here in France. I changed my diet in general and I changed a lot to prepare myself mentally and physically."
