Ryan Sidebottom is unlikely to bowl in the second innings of Yorkshire’s Division One match against Worcestershire at New Road after suffering a calf injury.
The former England fast bowler did the damage whilst batting on the second day.
He had some treatment on the pitch but was forced to retire hurt, with the champions 217-7, still 94 runs behind Worcestershire.
He came back later in the innings to help Tim Bresnan secure a third batting point, but needed Will Rhodes as a runner.
Head coach Jason Gillespie told the club’s website: “Everyone could see that Sid was in a bit of discomfort.
“He’s hurt his calf and we’ll assess that over the next 24 hours. You’d say it’s pretty unlikely he’ll bowl in the rest of this match, and he’s gutted about that. But we’ve got a couple of other options.”
