I am afraid its pretty serious...
He is definately losing the rest of World Cup after the injury on his knee.
The condition is called ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and for a soccer player translates usually 4 to 6 months out of action.
But that also depends on the will of the player and if he wants to risk it by returning earlier (not before 4 months though).

Out for 6 months, bad enough for England and Newcastle,. Done to Crouch, Walcott and Rooney to carry the threat to the rest of the teams up front.

He's got a ruptured ACL...Not only is he out of the Tournament but he could be out for at least 5 months.
Bad news for England and for Newcastle

Yes, he is out for the remainder of the World Cup. Crouch will be taking his place.

This would be an excellent question, if anyone was interested in the World Cup.

Yes he's gone.
I don't think it's THAT much of a blow anyways because he's been struggling of late, and Crouch can be a very effective player.

This means there's a good chance Walcott will see action at some point...

I am so sorry! I have a special place in my heart for him, since he scored that beautiful goal against my team in 1998.
