Injuries Mount as Broad is Ruled Out in Warm-up

Potchefstroom: England have received another setback after a shoulder injury ruled Stuart Broad out of tomorrow's game against South Africa A.

Broad already missed the Twenty20 series and has still not recovered, 11 days after incurring the damage in a practice match.

"He's had a number of injections in the past few days and we are waiting to see the reaction to those injections, to see whether it settles," said Andy Flower, the England coach.

Paul Collingwood missed England's mauling in the second Twenty20 match with a recurrence of his long-standing back problem, which Flower thinks will rule him out of Tuesday's game as well.

"Unless it loosens up a lot today I don't think he will play in tomorrow's game either," said Flower.

To compound England's problems, Graeme Swann has a problem with an intercostal muscle and James Anderson, England's senior paceman, has a knee injury. Both are unavailable for the warm-up match and England's growing injury list could mean call up an extra pace bowler.

Graham Onions, who has only just recovered from injury himself, is now certain to have an opportunity to impress ahead of the opening one-day international on November 20.
