Wayne Rooney has posted a graphic picture on Facebook showing the head injury that forced him out of England's next two World Cup qualifiers.
The 27-year-old suffered the deep cut in a freak training ground collision with the boot of Manchester United team-mate Phil Jones last week.
Old Trafford boss David Moyes said the striker could be out for three weeks. England team-mate Theo Walcott has described the photograph as "like something out of a horror film".
Roy Hodgson's side face Moldova at Wembley on Friday and then a difficult trip to Ukraine on Tuesday. Rooney is one of three players who have withdrawn from the squad due to injury.
Glen Johnson was forced off with an ankle injury during Liverpool's 1-0 win over Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday, while United's Jones was also substituted with a similar problem.
