Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek was named in
Poland's World Cup squad despite missing their final warm-up before flying to
Japan with a knee injury.
Dudek was absent as the Poles beat Estonia 1-0 on Saturday, but coach Jerzy Engel
has already revealed he has no worries about the keeper's chances of recovering
in time for their first game against co-hosts South Korea on June 4.
Engel had originally called up 24 players, but injury forced out forward
Bartosz Karwan, leaving the boss with an easy task.
Poland will also face Portugal and the United States in Group D.
