Slovakia midfielder Miroslav Karhan will miss the World Cup due to an Achilles tendon injury.
Karhan, who first played for Slovakia in 1995, has 13 goals in 96 appearances for his country. He currently plays for German club Mainz.
"There's a little tear which means I can't take part in the tournament," said Karhan, according to a report on FIFA's website. "I have a three-week break ahead of me and the World Cup begins in two weeks. So my withdrawal is final."
Slovakia plays New Zealand on June 15 in its World Cup opener, and also plays Italy and Paraguay in Group F.
