We look forward to seeing him back with us next season."(SPEEDWAY 2)ELITE League title winner Adam Skornicki has returned home to Poland for an exploratory operation on his knee.Skornicki was involved in a horror crash during Wolverhampton's Midland League clash with Peterborough.Promoter Chris Van Straaten said: "It seems to be ligament damage in his knee so they need to establish whether it needs major surgery and he also dislocated his shoulder in the same incident."
