Dragowski out of World Cup

Poland keeper Bartlomiej Dragowski will miss the World Cup in Qatar after suffering a serious ankle injury playing for his club Spezia in their 2-1 Serie

A win at Hellas Verona on Sunday, a Polish FA spokesperson said.

Dragowski was taken off on a stretcher just before halftime following a tackle on Verona’s Kevin Lasagna, with his ankle seemingly dislocated.

Spezia have not confirmed the exact nature of the injury although their coach, Luca Gotti, said it was serious.

“We have no definite news on Dragowski, for sure it is a serious injury, it’s obviously sad because the lad will not be able to leave for the World Cup in Qatar,” he said.
