Jonathan Woodgate will not travel to Israel today - but whilst he won't be fit for Saturday could be available for Wednesday's game against Andorra.
The FA medical team have spoken to their counterparts at Middlesbrough and agreed to continue his treatment in England.
England Head Coach Steve McClaren said: "Jonathan's fitness comes first and we won't take risks with any player.
"We will keep in close contact with Middlesbrough over the next few days to determine his availability for the Andorra match."
