Shima picks up injury and is doubtful for the World Cup

Striker and winger Shinichiro Shima from the Columbus Crew of the MLS has picked up a 4 week injury and might see him miss out on the World Cup.

Its a big blow for Shima's chances that would have liked to play the World Cup in the country he already resides.

However for japan Shima has been a borderline inductee to the squad everytime. He has however found some time on the left wing for the team after Orimi was moved to the central midfield.
