Andrew Flintoff will undergo a scan on his injured hip following the conclusion of the third Test with West Indies.
The Lancastrian appeared to be carrying a problem since the first day and despite denials by the England camp, it was confirmed on Tuesday that he was carrying a hip injury.
Flintoff bowled just three overs on Wednesday and England have called up Kent bowler Amjad Khan and Essex all-rounder Ravi Bopara as cover.
The pair will fly out to the Caribbean immediately and what role they play could well hinge on the results of Flintoff’s scan.
The fourth Test is due to start in Barbados on February 26.
