Motor Lublin has completed two signings and is preparing for Saturday's Ekstraklasa match against Legia Warsaw. The Lublin club, which beat Legia 3-0 in the Polish Cup on Wednesday, aims to improve its league position, where it currently sits 15th with five points.
Who has joined Motor Lublin?
According to reports from dziennikwschodni.pl, Motor Lublin has officially signed Mamadou Tall. The Senegalese midfielder, who will turn 20 in March, joins from Georgian club Dila Gori, where he played 27 matches. As recently as July, he featured in UEFA Conference League qualifiers, playing four games against AC Virtus and Apollon Limassol. Coach Mariusz Misiura said the new player needs time to become a leading figure in the number six role.
Tall will meet two compatriots in the squad, Jacques Ndiaye and Christopher Simon, which should help his adaptation. He is the third Senegalese player in the Motor squad, as also confirmed by przegladsportowy.onet.pl. The club hopes the presence of fellow countrymen will ease the new signing's integration into the team structure and training process.
What are the plans for the young striker?
The second official reinforcement is 17-year-old striker Mateusz Posmyk, who joined Motor from Górnik Zabrze. As reported by przegladsportowy.onet.pl, the forward signed a contract valid until June 30, 2029. This transfer is part of larger squad changes at the club after last season, when 14 players left and 12 were brought in.
Coach Mariusz Misiura expressed confidence that an interesting team has been built. "I believe we have a very good squad," the coach said, quoted by the Polish Press Agency. The goal now is to work with the full team and improve effectiveness in defence and attack. Current statistics show Motor has scored eight goals and conceded 13 this season.
How are preparations for the Legia match going?
The Wyniki na żywo portal reports that Motor Lublin will face Legia Warsaw on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at 20:15 at their home stadium. The match will be broadcast on CANAL+ Sport 3 and the CANAL+ Online platform. No injury news is coming from the Motor camp, so the team could field a similar lineup to the one that won the cup match.
For Legia, the availability of Paweł Wszołek is in doubt after he missed Tuesday's match due to injury. It is also unknown how coach Marek Papszun will react to the cup defeat and whether he will make changes to his starting eleven. Motor, which is waiting for a league win after two matchdays, faces a tough task against the league leaders.
What is Motor's situation in the Ekstraklasa?
