England boss Gareth Southgate has dislocated his shoulder while out running during a day off from World Cup training.
Here, Press Association Sport looks at other players associated with the Three Lions who have suffered freak injuries.
Alan Mullery
The Tottenham great and England midfielder missed the 1964 tour of South America after injuring his back while brushing his teeth.
David James
The 53-time England goalkeeper once pulled a muscle in his back when reaching for the television remote control and the keen angler also tweaked his shoulder when trying to land a monster carp.
Rio Ferdinand
During his spell at Leeds, Ferdinand managed to pick up a tendon strain in his knee watching television. The long-serving England defender had his foot up on a coffee table for a number of hours and ended up injuring a tendon behind his knee.
Darius Vassell
Then Aston Villa striker Vassell, who earned 22 England caps, missed several games after he drilled through his toenail with a power drill thinking it would relieve the pressure on a swollen toe. The attempt at DIY surgery succeeded only in giving the toe an infection which required medical attention.
Wayne Rooney
The then England and Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney caused controversy in 2015 when a video emerged of him boxing with former team-mate Phil Bardsley in his kitchen. A blow from Bardsley floored Rooney, who fell backwards onto the floor and, after the video was aired, Rooney celebrated a goal against Tottenham by shadow boxing and then pretending to hit the deck.
