Woakes clutched his shoulder, and he was seen in considerable pain. The physio rushed in for early checkups, and the star all-rounder was later seen leaving the field with his arm supported by a sling.
Now, a Telegraph report suggested that Chris Woakes is likely to miss out on England’s tour of Australia later this year for the Ashes 2025-26 after suffering a serious shoulder injury at The Oval. Scans confirmed the damage was worse than expected, confirming a major dislocation in his left shoulder.
The medical experts believe that Woakes might need surgery to fix the dislocated shoulder. If the fast bowler goes under the knife, recovery could take up to six months, which means he is unlikely to be fit in time for the Ashes 2025 in Australia, which is set to begin in just three months.
