Krzysztof Maczynski, Kamil Grosicki and Lukasz Piszczek are also recalled for the opening round of sixteen game, taking place in Saint-Etienne on Saturday afternoon. Lukasz Fabianski continues in place of Wojciech Szczesny in goal, while Robert Lewandowski remains without a goal.
Haris Seferovic comes in for Breel Embolo in Switzerland's only change from the goalless draw with France last Sunday. New Arsenal signing, Granit Xhaka, retains his place in midfielder after enjoying an impressive tournament thus far.
Switzerland qualified unbeaten as runners-up in Group A behind France, beating Albania and drawing with France and Romania, while Poland were also unbeaten as they finished runners-up to Germany in Group C, beating Northern Ireland and the Ukraine and drawing with the world champions, all without conceding a goal.
The winners of the match will face the victors of Croatia's game with Portugal, which takes place in Lens later on Saturday night.
