England's Wood likely to miss second Ashes test due to sore knee, reports say
- On Saturday, Mark Wood, Durham pace bowler, looks set to miss the second Ashes Test at the Gabba after resting a left-knee issue at the team hotel following missed training.
- After missing the county season following left-knee surgery, Mark Wood had scans for a sore hamstring earlier this month and bowled only 11 overs in Perth.
- In Perth, Wood struck Cameron Green's helmet yet finished wicketless, with Josh Tongue likely to replace him and Matthew Potts also available while Shoaib Bashir or Will Jacks remain options.
- England officials do not expect him to recover for Thursday's Gabba Test, creating a selection dilemma that weakens frontline pace options in Brisbane.
- Wood's fitness has loomed large given his impact at Headingley and his 17 wickets at 26.64 on the last tour, while his pace dropped in Perth as Travis Head's century and collapse handed Australia victory.
