LONDON, (Reuters) – England fast bowler Graham Onions will be out for three months due to knee and back injuries, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said yesterday.
The ECB said on their website (www.ecb.co.uk) the Durham player, who will miss most of the domestic county season, had undergone scans and seen a spinal specialist this week.
“The scans confirmed an ongoing bone stress reaction in his back and Onions has been advised that he will need to undergo a further period of rest and rehabilitation programme of up to 12 weeks in duration,” it said.
“Onions also underwent surgery yesterday at a London hospital to repair cartilage in the front of his left knee and the rehabilitation period required will be of a similar length to that prescribed for his injured back.”
