Bartosz Bialkowski’s Poland crashed out of the World Cup following a 3-0 defeat to Colombia in their second Group H game in Kazan in which the Blues keeper was again an unused sub.
The Poles, who were beaten 2-1 by Senegal in their opening match on Tuesday, sit bottom of their group without a point and cannot now finish in the top two in the group even if they win their final game against Japan on Thursday.
Once-capped Bialkowski, 30, travelled to Russia as the third-choice keeper behind Wojciech Szczesny of Juventus, who has started both games, and Lukasz Fabianski, who joined West Ham from Swansea last week.
Meanwhile, former Blues boss Mick McCarthy, speaking ahead of this evening’s match, has said he believes Town will have trouble keeping hold of Bialkowski and that he’d try to sign him if he were to get a new club.
"I’ve been banging on for Bart, as we call him, that he’s the best keeper in the league and I’m surprised that somebody hasn’t come in for him before now, I have to be honest, I thought someone would,” McCarthy told talkSPORT.
"I think they may have a problem keeping hold of him now he’s in the World Cup squad, if he gets in he’s certainly going to get a bit more exposure. He’s only got a year to run on his contract.
"He’s fabulous. If I was to get a club tomorrow and I needed a keeper, I’d go and try and sign him.”
Bialkowski, who was interesting Crystal Palace in the last transfer window, is contracted to the Blues for another year and is yet to sign the contract which McCarthy said in January had been agreed with the keeper subsequently stating that talks were continuing.
