Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe will be out for a "few weeks" after suffering a tear to his hamstring, according to manager Harry Redknapp.
The news will be a blow for Champions League-chasing Spurs and England boss Fabio Capello, with the Italian naming his World Cup squad on 16 May.
And Redknapp confirmed: "It's a grade-two tear but it will be a few weeks. He is struggling."
Defoe, 27, has netted 23 goals for Spurs in all competitions this season.
And he joins an already lengthy injury list at White Hart Lane with Tom Huddlestone, David Bentley, Aaron Lennon, Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate all on the sidelines.
