Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere will be sidelined for at least six weeks after fracturing his left foot.
The 22-year-old sustained the injury in a challenge with Liverpool's Daniel Agger in the 12th minute of England's 1-0 friendly victory over Denmark.
However, he played on until the 59th minute of Wednesday's match at Wembley.
Wilshere will miss Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final with Everton and Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg tie against Bayern Munich.
Arsenal then have a north London derby with Tottenham at White Hart Lane the following Sunday and also play title contenders Chelsea and Manchester City before the end of the month.
It was initially thought that Wilshere had escaped serious damage after the FA carried out scans on Wednesday evening.
However, a further examination by his club on Thursday discovered a crack in the navicular bone.
