Andros Darryl Townsend is an English footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and for the England national team.
He has been ruled out of the World Cup after Tottenham Hotspur announced he must undergo ankle surgery.
Townsend, who scored the vital goal against Montenegro that helped England qualify , requires an operation on the ligaments in his left ankle and will be out for around 10 weeks.
The news came as a major setback for the England manager Roy Hodgson after the 22-year-old Townsend's explosive introduction to international football during the World Cup qualifying campaign last year.
"Following further examination and consultation, Andros Townsend is to undergo surgery on his left ankle after damaging ligaments during our fixture against Stoke City last Saturday. The injury is likely to sideline the young winger for up to 10 weeks," a club statement read.
