(Reuters) - England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford will play no part in their upcoming World Cup qualifiers this month after injuring an abdominal muscle, his club Everton said on Tuesday.

Pickford was substituted late in the first half of Saturday's 2-1 home loss to Burnley after he appeared to injure himself while attempting to make a save and the 27-year-old underwent a scan on Monday.
