Bobby Zamora
After finally breaking into the England fold and gaining acclaim among onlookers who often doubted his ability, the news of his broken leg was a bitter blow for Zamora.
Being sidelined for more than four months will be sickening for the forward, but at least he had support from his former manager, Roy Hodgson, on Sunday.
"It's a cruel, cruel blow and the whole country, not just me, will wish him well," said Hodgson, who coached him last season at Fulham.
