London's security Scott Parker may be forced to miss the start of the new season due to an Achilles tendon injury.
According to coach Andre Villas Boas, rehabilitation could take four to six weeks, so there is a risk that he will not be able to help the team in several Premier League matches in England.
In addition, Parker is unlikely to help the English national team, which will play a friendly match against the European vice-champion Italy on August 15. The English will start their World Cup qualifying matches on September 7 with a match against Moldova, and four days later they will test their strength against Ukraine.
Last season in the Premier League, Parker did not score any goals in 29 matches.
