Aaron Lennon could miss England's euro qualifiers against Israel and Russia

England’s young right winger Aaron Lennon may most likely miss out during England's Euro 2008 qualifiers to be held next month against Russia and Israel owing to a surgery to his right knee injury. He had an operation on the outside of his cartilage on account of a small tear in his knee and has temporarily withdrawn from the England squad as he will be out of action for several weeks. Thus he is in doubt to play for England at the forthcoming match with Israel on September 8 and Russia four days later in Group E. He will get only a week’s time to prove his fitness to play for the next month’s qualifier.

Lennon has already missed the London club's pre-season preparations and will also miss the start of the Premier League season. Spurs manager Martin Jol said that the winger will not resume training until the end of August and is currently doing his conditioning work with the coaches. England is already hit by the wave of injuries, Lennon’s injury being the latest of all. Captain John Terry along with other prominent players including Ledley King, Jonathan Woodgate, Owen Hargreaves and Wayne Bridge are also doubtful for England for its upcoming Euro 2008 qualifying games.
