World Cup 2018: Poland star Kamil Glik a doubt for tournament after injuring himself trying bicycle kick in training
The Monaco centre-back has injured his shoulder during a pre-World Cup coaching session

One of Poland's key players, defender Kamil Glik, could miss the World Cup after injuring himself attempting a bicycle kick in training.
The robust Monaco centre-back was supposed to be the rock on which Adam Nawalka's Polish side were built at Russia 2018, but a cruel twist of fate may yet rob him of the chance to play at the World Cup.
Glik was taken to hospital where a number of tests were carried out on his shoulder. With such a lack of clarity over his situation and with the squad submission deadline on Monday, Nawalka included Glik in his squad but now faces a race against time to be fit for Poland's opener against Senegal on June 19.

The 30-year-old defender signed for Monaco two summers ago after impressing during a five-year stint in Serie A with Torino.
Glik also spent a season with Real Madrid earlier in his career and is one of the most-capped internationals in Poland's World Cup squad.
