The club does not intend to take any risks
Rafał Górak confirmed that the treatment process may take about three or four months. The trainer emphasized that in the case of a shoulder injury, it is particularly important to properly carry out each stage of rehabilitation. For this reason, people in Katowice do not want to make decisions under time pressure.
