Nigeria striker Kanu is set to miss a dream World Cup date against his Arsenal team-mates in the final Group F match against England after aggravating an injury in training.

Kanu was looking forward to pitting himself against Highbury-based defenders Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole - as well as a host of other Premiership opponents he is familiar with - in England’s crucial clash in Osaka tomorrow.
