Stuart Pearce's men fire blanks in Vilnius
Gibbs had hobbled to the ambulance with the aid of crutches and the initial fear was that he had suffered a broken metatarsal though the Xray appeared to discount this,[url=http://www.sport.fr/smartphones/moncler.asp]moncler pas cher[/url].
It looks inevitable that Wenger will have to find a standin ahead of this weekend's trip to Sunderland. Given Gael Clichy's continued absence with a back injury, this will be a major headache for Wenger as he is already without a number of stars, including Robin van Persie, Nicklas Bendtner and Theo Walcott. With Clichy out, Gibbs had been Wenger's first choice at full back.
precautionary at theGroup Nine schedule withAfter defeating Portugal at Wembley last Saturday, Pearce's youngsters had to contend with incessant driving rain and a slippery surface as well as doggedly resilient opponents.
This stalemate means that England will have to defeat Greece next March if they are to have any chance of qualifying automatically for Denmark in 2011 and therefore avoid the lottery of the playoffs.
Newcastle striker Andy Carroll was the culpritinchief and the coach laid it on the line as a paltry home turnout celebrated wildly at the final whistle.
The forward came closest with a scrambled effort that crashed into the crossbar in the second half. Daniel Sturridge had also squandered early chances.
Pearce said: 'Lithuania are a very stout defensive unit. They are difficult to break down and we are not the only ones to find that in this group.
'We have not taken our chances and we have got to win our three matches to win the group now. We have the capabilities to do so.
'It's difficult to qualify for this tournament outright. Just by dropping two away points, we have now put ourselves under pressure.'
ENGLAND (442): Loach, Mancienne, Smalling, Richards, Gibbs (Bertrand 21min); Cleverley, Muamba (Hines 64), Delph, Rose; Sturridge (Lansbury 80), Carroll.
