England might be forced to leave out Andrew Flintoff in the fifth ODI against India in Leeds on Sunday after the talismanic all-rounder had fresh problems with his left ankle.
Following Thursday's match against India, Flintoff has been experiencing some discomfort in his left ankle and did not bowl during the England practice today.
"Flintoff suffered a reaction following Thursday's match and has undergone scans on the ankle. It requires further review," the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement.
The ankle discomfort Flintoff experiencing is in no way related to the knee injury he sustained earlier in the series, it added.
Flintoff already has had three operations on his troublesome ankle.
"Ongoing assessment and investigation into the injury will be carried out and a decision on Flintoff's availability for Sunday's NatWest Series match will be made following further assessment," the ECB statement added.
England are already 3-1 up and a win in Leeds tomorrow would help them take an unassailable lead in the seven-match series.
In case Flintoff sits out tomorrow, England might replace him with Chris Tremlett even though the management has another option in Jon Lewis. |
