Paul Robinson's hopes of gatecrashing England's World Cup squad could be over because of a suspected torn calf muscle.
The Blackburn goalkeeper was having a scan today after being carried off injured during Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Tottenham.
He was hurt clearing the ball and Rovers' medical staff fear he may have ripped the muscle, which would rule him out of going to South Africa as England's third goalkeeper.
Boss Sam Allardyce is gutted to lose Robinson and had talked up his international chances before the game at White Hart Lane.
Big Sam will recall either Mark Bunn from Sheffield United or Frank Fielding from Rochdale today to act as back-up to Jason Brown.
