It's hard not to feel a little sorry for Danny Welbeck.
Having missed a sizeable chunk of this season through injury, the Arsenal forward returned to action in February and would have almost certainly featured in Roy Hodgson's Euro 2016 plans.

Welbeck sent the following tweet in light of the news.
