Woakes Weighs Rehab Gamble To Be Fit For Ashes After Shoulder Blow
The 36-year-old sustained a suspected dislocated shoulder on the opening day of England’s fifth-Test defeat to India at The Oval. Although ruled out for the rest of the match, Woakes returned to bat at number 11 with his left arm in a sling, as England chased a series-clinching win on a tense final morning. They ultimately fell six runs short, with the series ending 2-2.
"I'm waiting to see what the extent of the damage is but I think the options will be to have surgery or to go down a rehab route and try and get it as strong as possible," Woakes told BBC Sport.
