Arsenal's Theo Walcott will miss the World Cup after being ruled out for at least six months with a knee injury.
The England forward, 24, was injured during the 2-0 FA Cup third-round victory over Tottenham on Saturday.
An Arsenal statement read: "Theo has sustained a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee.
Walcott's injury comes as a significant blow to club and country on the same day the Football Association said it would take no further action against him over his gesture to Tottenham fans as he was carried from the field during Saturday's game.
He did not appear to be in severe pain as he was carried off, signalling the scoreline to Spurs' supporters.
