Lennon ruled out of matches

19-year-old Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon has officially been ruled out, a scan confirmed. The winger had been injured in the England B match against Albania , which England won 3-1. This means that he will be ruled out of England's friendly against Brazil at Wembley, and also the much more crucial match against Estonia at Turinn. This makes it even more likely that David Beckham, who was recalled by Steve McClaren on Saturday, will play both the matches.

Lennon has everything a left-winger needs - pace, power and pin-point crossing abilities. He looks set to be the Arjen Robben or Ryan Giggs of England. This could be a big blow as he suits striker Peter Crouch, and without him, Crouch would be weaker.
