Dudka, who came on as a substitute in the encounter at the National Stadium in Warsaw, looks to have the most serious knock, with a stomach strain meaning he will again miss training today.
Perquis has a cut on his chin, and team doctor Mariusz Urban said that making sure it does not become infected is important.
The Sochaux French club team defender also has minor problems with a previously injured elbow and foot.
Polanski has picked up a bruised knee.
“The players did not participate in Wednesday afternoon practice,” confirmed Urban.
The Polish squad will be taking part in an open training session Thursday in Warsaw at 17.00 CET.
On Saturday, they will meet the Czechs in Wroclaw in a match Poland must win if the co-hosts are to advance to the quarter finals. (pg)
