Green blow as England humbled

ENGLAND keeper Robert Green is out of the World Cup after getting injured in the defeat to Belarus.

Jermaine Jenas had put England in front in the first half but early in the second half Green ruptured his groin and when he took a goal-kick he collapsed allowing Vitaly Kutuzov to sidefoot home Belarus’ equaliser.

Sergey Kornilenko fired in the winner nine minutes from time.
