Kamil Glik will remain in the Polish squad selected for the World Cup in Russia, said the Polish national team’s physiotherapist, Jacek Jaroszewski. "He should be ready for the third group stage game against Japan," he added.
"After completing a series of complex analysis and functional tests, I have decided that Kamil Glik will join the team for the World Cup in Russia," said Jaroszewski.
He also added that most likely Glik should be ready to play in the third group game against Japan.
Thirty-year-old Glik sustained a shoulder injury last week during training in Arłamów. After X-ray in Przemyśl, the defender went to Nice for precise tests. On Monday, he was diagnosed once more by the AS Monaco’s doctor and shortly after the club gave him a "green light" to go to Russia.
Despite the injury, Glik remained on the selection list that was sent to FIFA and on officially announced Polish national team's squad for the tournament.
On Tuesday, Polish team will play Lithuania in Warsaw in the last test game before going to Russia. On Wednesday, Adam Nawałka’s team is flying to it’s base camp in Sochi.
World Cup in Russia starts on Thursday 14 June. The hosts will play Saudi Arabia in Moscow.
Poland will play Senegal in their first group game, on Tuesday 19 June in Moscow. On 24 June in Kazan Poland will play Columbia and on 28 June against Japan in Volgograd.
