To be honest I'd be really gutted if this happens. When he was called up for England he really did look like a class striker that could be a new Shearer type forward, which England have sorely lacked. However, that day he broke his ankle and it has never recovered properly. Apparently within a few weeks he may announce he won't play again.
A real shame to see a promising England forward not able to continue with the game, I wish him well.
