Japan midfielder Junichi Inamoto faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after breaking his leg in his country's draw with England on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old sustained the injury in a tackle and tests have shown he has broken a bone in his left leg which will keep him out for up to three months.
The injury could jeopardise Inamoto's proposed move to Fulham where he has been on loan for the last two seasons.
Fulham are keen to sign the former Arsenal ace, but have been unable to agree a deal with the player's Japanese club Gamba Osaka as they are demanding a fee of £2.5 million for his services.
The injury is certain to rule Inamoto out for the start of next season and that could end his hopes of staying at Fulham.
Inamoto will definitely miss next week's World Cup qualifier with India as well as the Asian Cup in China in July.
Meanwhile, Fulham youngster Adam Green has signed a new deal to keep him at the club until 2006.
Green broke into the first team last season and is highly-rated by the Fulham coaching staff.
