Wayne Rooney will definitely miss England's World Cup group stage games - after a scan revealed he cannot train for at least another three weeks.
Rooney's club, Manchester United, confirmed the 20-year-old will require another scan on 14 June to determine when he can return to action.
If the striker's broken metatarsal is given the all-clear, he would have 10 days to get fit for a last-16 tie.
England have to decide by 9 June whether to replace Rooney in the squad.
So not good news for Wayne as we all feared the worst and they were realsied, lets hope England can go all the way to give Wayne a chance on the World stage he so richly deserves and help us win it....heres hoping !
England B 1-2 Belarus
England B lost to 10-man Belarus but their first World Cup warm-up game was marred by an injury that is set to rule out Robert Green for the finals.
In the second half Green ruptured his groin making a save and when he took a goal-kick he collapsed, allowing Vitaly Kutuzov to sidefoot an equaliser.
Sergey Omelianchuk was sent off but Sergey Kornilenko fired in the winner.
Michael Owen had helped set up Jermaine Jenas' goal to give England the lead before he was replaced by Theo Walcott.
