The closest six weeks in London will have to do without striker Jermaine Defoe.

The 27-year-old football player suffered a foot injury in Tuesday's match against Switzerland while representing the England national team and had to leave the field.

This is a big loss for the capital team, which is awaiting the start of the UEFA Champions League journey.

Lately, Defoe has been showing excellent athletic form and scored three goals in the first European Championship qualifying matches against the Bulgarian national team.
