England Provides Ollie Robinson Injury Update After Ankle Scan
May 23, 2023 at 5:01 PM
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has provided an update on the injury status of fast bowler Ollie Robinson after the pacer suffered an ankle injury after playing for Sussex in the County Championship Division Two match against Glamorgan at Hove last week.
Prior to leaving the field with a painful ankle, Robinson bowled eight over. After lunch, he left the pitch again, and on May 22 he will be subject to scans.
Robinson was relocated, according to Sussex coach Paul Farbrace, because keeping him would have made his injury worse. The medical staff of Sussex and English Cricket worked together to decide whether to send Robinson for scans.
“He’s got a sore ankle and he’ll be scanned on Monday to see how bad he is. We knew it was sore yesterday, that’s why we got one spell out of him this morning. He tried his hardest really, it was a long spell, he got stuck in. He knew it was going to be one and one only, and then once he was off that was it for the day.
