Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar was today ruled out of the rest of the five-match ODI series against England due to a toe injury.
Tendulkar will return to India on Tuesday to seek the advice of a specialist.
The 38-year-old had earlier missed Saturday's rain-affected first ODI in Durham.
Tendulkar is suffering from an inflammation to the bone in his big toe on the right foot.
He had suffered a fracture on the bone a couple of years back.
His absence is another injury blow for the M.S. Dhoni-led team, as they will now play the second ODI in Southampton on Tuesday with Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Rohit Sharma and Harbhajan Singh out with injuries.
