England star all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is likely to miss the fourth test match of the Ashes test series against Australia, which will start from today at Headingley. Tall fast bowler Steve Harminson could replace him in the England squad.

However, final decision on Flintoff will be taken just before the start of the match but it is unlikely to include injured Flintoff in the squad. Flintoff has not yet recovered from his injury as he was unable to bowl in the nets during practice session yesterday.

England is leading the five test match series 1-0 and Fintoff has played a major role in this brilliant performance of English team against Australia. Flintoff has taken crucial wickets at right time and he also contributed with bat throughout the ongoing Ashes series.

England skipper Andrew Strauss said that they would include Flintoff in the squad only if he will be fit enough to play on all five days of the test match.
