Arsenal's Theo Walcott has undergone surgery on his shoulder after dislocating the joint in training with England this week.
The 19-year-old picked up the injury after slipping on a wet pitch in Berlin on Tuesday.
He is expected to be out of action for at least three months.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger - a critic of meaningless international friendlies during the Premier League season - says he does not blame the FA for the setback.
"It was an accident that could have happened anywhere," he says.
