London - Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson withdrew on Tuesday from the England squad to face Brazil on Saturday. The 25-year-old suffered the injury in Monday's 2-2 draw against Birmingham City, but completed the full 90 minutes.
During a routine training session with England, though, the extent of the injury became apparent.
Manager Fabio Capello has said he has no plans to call up a replacement, leaving Manchester United's Wes Brown as the only right- back in the squad.
