Beenhakker drops Dudek from Poland squad

WARSAW, Sep 30 (Reuters) Poland coach Leo Beenhakker has dropped Liverpool keeper Jerzy Dudek for his squad's European championship qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Portugal on October 7 and October 11.

Poland are looking to make amends after they opened their Group A campaign earlier this month with a surprise 3-1 defeat by Finland in a game Dudek started, followed by a disappointing 1-1 draw against Serbia.

Dudek, 33, has yet to make an appearance in the Premier League this season.
