Captain Eoin Morgan and opener Jason Roy suffered injury scares during England's World Cup win over West Indies in Southampton.
Roy limped off the field after pulling up in the field and was subsequently diagnosed with a left hamstring strain - Roy then did not bat, with Joe Root scoring a century after being promoted to open alongside Jonny Bairstow.
Morgan hobbled off the pitch unassisted after picking up a back spasm and said at the post-match presentation that his and Roy's injuries would be able to be better assessed in a day or two.
"It is my back - it's a bit sore at the moment so hopefully it settles down over the next few days," said Morgan, after his side recorded a third win in four World Cup matches.
"I have had a lot of back spasms in the past and it's a matter of 48 hours and see how it's doing. Sometimes it settles down a lot quicker than expected, sometimes it lingers around.
"Jason's hamstring is a little bit stiff at the moment but he will go for a scan and we will see how it pulls up over the next 24 to 48 hours.
"Everyone is vital so we don't want or need injuries but inevitably there will be some. Hopefully they're not too serious."
