WARSAW, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Poland may host the 2012 European Championship on its own if Ukraine does not complete its Kiev stadium on schedule, UEFA president Michel Platini was quoted as saying by Polish media on Friday.

The Dziennik daily reported that Platini also played down speculation Germany could step in to host the tournament.

"Germany? Only if the bulldozers are still working at the National Stadium in Warsaw in June 2012, but I doubt that," Platini told Dziennik.

"Kiev is another matter. If this city is late with the stadium, then there is a possibility that Euro 2012 will be hosted only by Poland."

UEFA has already threatened to take the tournament away from Poland and Ukraine if they fail to speed up stadium construction and tackle major infrastructure problems.

Speaking to Reuters on Friday in Athens at the Council of European Ministers responsible for sport, Platini clarified his comments, saying stadiums in both countries had to be ready.

"I said if the stadium in Kiev is not ready then we won't play in Ukraine and if Warsaw is not ready then we won't play in Poland. Nothing more. It is very complicated," he said.
