Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe will have an operation on a groin injury next week that will keep him out of England's Euro 2012 qualifiers.
The 27-year-old will still be available to play in his club's Champions League tie against Young Boys on Wednesday.
But the injury, which Defoe has suffered since the World Cup, means he could be out for up to a month.
England kick off their European qualification campaign against Bulgaria and Switzerland on 3 and 7 September.
