The English Football Association (FA) announced that striker Daniel Sturridge will miss the country's Euro 2016 qualifier against Switzerland to be held in Basel Monday.
The 25-year-old sustained a thigh injury during Friday's training session at St. George's Park, reports Xinhua.
"Heartbroken soul right now," he tweeted. "Nothing worse than being injured. Hopefully be back soon fighting fit for LFC (Liverpool)."
An FA spokesman said: "Daniel Sturridge has had a scan and will now return to Liverpool FC for treatment. He will play no part in the forthcoming Switzerland match."
