Poland's preparations for this month's World Cup suffered a blow on Monday after defender Kamil Glik seriously injured his shoulder in training on the same day as being named in head coach Adam Nawałka's 23-man squad for the tournament in Russia.

Nawałka had already submitted his squad list to FIFA before the incident with Glik which happened when the AS Monaco man fell awkwardly after attempting an overhead kick.

The Poland coach said that should the 30-year-old not recover in time to travel to Russia, he would be replaced by VfB Stuttgart's Marcin Kamiński.

World Cup rules allow the final squad to be named 24 hours before the first game starts.

Poland play Senegal on June 19 before facing other Group H opponents Colombia and Japan.

Prior to the World Cup, Poland play friendly warm-up matches against Chile on Friday and Lithuania next Tuesday.
