Andrew Flintoff's participation in next week's fourth Test against West Indies in Barbados is in doubt after England called up Kent fast bowler Amjad Khan and Essex all-rounder Ravi Bopara as cover.
The England and Wales Cricket Board said on Thursday that Flintoff had a "niggling hip" injury. The all-rounder was restricted to just three overs on the fourth day of the third Test in Antigua on Wednesday.
Team mate Steve Harmison said Flintoff had been struggling to bowl.
"The big lad is in a bit of pain and it shows the character he has that he even attempted to go out on the field," said Harmison.
England need seven wickets to level the five-match series 1-1 on the final day.
