Tottenham's director, Mauricio Pochettino, does not know if Kieran Trippier will be fit to show up in England, but says the injury suffered at Crystal Palace does not matter.
The right-back played in the first half of the Spurs 1-0 win at Selhurst Park on Saturday night due to a groin problem and is questionable for the Three Lions games with the United States and Croatia.
Trippier is now the ninth Spurs player to have been injured this season at the World Cup, with Hugo Lloris, Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose, Eric Dier, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Mousa Demble and Davinson Sanchez. .
Pochettino said: "I hope this is not a big deal. I do not know.
"The medical staff will evaluate and then the medical staff of England will determine whether he will be involved or not. It is an injury to the groin. "
The Spurs won a tough encounter in a soggy Selhurst Park, thanks to Juan Foyth's header in the second half, sealing an impressive redemption for the defenseman.
Foyth, replaced by injured Sanchez, scored his first goal in the Premier League seven days later by conceding two penalties in the Wolves 3-2 win.
Pochettino has no doubt about the return of his fellow Argentine and expects great things from the young man of 20 years.
"I am very happy. During the week we talked a lot about football and what can happen, "said Pochettino about Foyth's indiscretions at Molineux.
"When you are a central defender, you are involved in this type of situation, but there is a lot of confidence in us.
"There is no doubt that his potential and quality will be very useful to the club. I'm happy for him, it's a mbadive win and it's good for him to feel like a Premier League player.
"He helped the team win and it's a fantastic moment for him. He is so smart that he has a lot of potential. I am convinced that he only needs time and games to improve and show his true quality. "
Palace are now seven games in the Premier League without a win, but were lucky to get something from the match, nothing better than the last effort of Alexander Sorloth who was saved by Lloris.
The boss Roy Hodgson, who suffered an injury to Wilfried Zaha, saw his team impress against Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs, though without scoring a point.
And the defeat against the Spurs was hard to bear for him.
He moaned, "It is very difficult for a team to do so much good in terms of tactical approach , work pace and determination, but ultimately lose the game 1-0. There are no words that change the situation.
"You can shorten your job by quoting everything I've said against Chelsea and Arsenal because it's the same situation.
"The team was very successful in all three performances. But that will not stop people from counteracting the fact that we lost and did not score.
"It's not going to stop people from countering that," Wilfried Zaha did not play, that's why you lost. "I know that's not true, all those who watched the game will know it too.
"But the fact is we did not win a match without Wilf because God knows how long, and it's another match to add to the list."
