Vaughan Adds To Injury Woes

Michael Vaughan has emerged as yet another England injury doubt for this month's ICC Champions Trophy.

He has an injury to his right knee which is not expected to keep him out of England's Oval Test series decider with India starting tomorrow but may require surgery afterwards.

That would put his place in the one-day squad for Sri Lanka in jeopardy - increasing England's injury list following the withdrawal of Andrew Flintoff and doubts over Craig White, Paul Collingwood and Nick Knight.

The opener has become a crucial middle-order component in the one-day side - particularly following the retirement of Graham Thorpe.

But he said of his knee problem: "It is a wear-and-tear injury that needs cleaning out.

"I will be speaking to the England management to see what the right course of action is."
