Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford will have surgery on a shoulder injury next week and faces about three months out.
The 23-year-old has been troubled by the problem for a number of months and felt an operation was the best way of resolving the issue.
United wanted to check but have now agreed to the surgery.
Rashford scored 11 goals in 37 Premier League appearances last season and was in England's squad at Euro 2020.
"Following consultation between Marcus, the manager [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer], club medical staff and specialists, Marcus will undergo surgery imminently to resolve his shoulder injury," said the Old Trafford club.
