Ben Chilwell, an England left-back, is a doubt for the World Cup after being injured in a game.
The defender pulled up in the last moments of the game.
He had to be helped off the pitch at the end of the game after he couldn't continue.
Graham Potter said that it doesn't look good.
It's a blow for us on a good evening. It's a pity to see him pull up like that.
It can be not bad, but we have to be careful." Clearly we're not happy.
Iran will face England in the opening game of the World Cup.
He was a member of the England squad at Euro 2020 but did not play.
He was out until May because of a knee injury.
Potter said that the injury is a concern for the World Cup.
When a player pulls up like he did, and he feels it, it's never positive.
"It's a blow for us and a blow for him and sadly he won't be the only one who's affected like that, because October was incredibly challenging, the games that we had to play, but it is what it is."
Glenn Hoddle is a former England manager There is a warning sign when you have a leg injury. You put your hand up.
It just went. He looked in pain as he touched the ball. It looks really bad. They haven't carried him off yet.
That's a big deal. I am really sad for him.
Cole, who played for England, said he felt for Chilwell because it's so close to the World Cup.
He said on the show that it was heartbreaking. It's so close to the World Cup that you can't think about anything else.
Two to three weeks before you get back on the pitch is the minimum you can hope for. It is very difficult. I am sympathetic to him.
