Adam Peaty has been ruled out of the swimming World Championships after fracturing a bone in his foot.
The three-time Olympic champion, who has eight world titles, sustained the injury while training in the gym and has been advised to rest for six weeks.
The swimming World Championships take place in Budapest from 18-25 June.
"I've fortunately never had to deal with an injury in my swimming career so this is a real blow and a new challenge for me," said the 27-year-old.
"I'm already in great hands and starting to recover but, honestly, I'm devastated.
"I work extremely hard and have dedicated my life to my training so I can be the absolute best I can be in the pool.
"I was on track for a huge summer so, like when anything doesn't go according to plan, it's a really challenging time."
