England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson confirmed Robert Green's World Cup hopes are over after his B side were beaten 2-1 by Belarus at Reading's Madejski Stadium.

England had led in Reading's Madejski Stadium through Jermaine Jenas - but 10-man Belarus fought back well.

They equalised with a freak goal thanks to Green's injury and sub Sergei Kornilenko grabbed the winning goal nine minutes from time. It was a heartbreaking moment for the Norwich man and presents a potential problem for Eriksson, who has a shortage of top-class keepers at his disposal.
