Crystal Palace striker Eddie Nketiah will miss this weekend's Community Shield clash against Liverpool after sustaining a thigh injury during pre-season.
Nketiah, who was born in England to Ghanaian parents and remains eligible to play for the Black Stars despite representing the Three Lions, suffered the setback in Palace's friendly defeat to Augsburg.
The 26-year-old was forced off after complaining of discomfort in his thigh, with scans later confirming a muscular issue that will sideline him for several weeks.
The development is a significant blow for manager Oliver Glasner as Palace prepare to face the Premier League champions at Wembley on Sunday.
