Injury curse strikes again for Flintoff

Fully recovered from his recent ankle surgery, the injury curse has struck Englishman Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff yet again - this time, a side strain.

Bowling at full pace for county side Lancashire in their 232-run victory over Durham last Friday, the all-rounder experienced discomfort in the left side of his body which will force him to miss two of England's three Test matches against New Zealand.

While the ECW and the player himself have said that the latest setback is in no way related to his ankle surgery, Freddie could not hide his frustration and disappointment in missing out on yet another test match for England (his latest Test was the final Ashes match in January 2007).

"It's frustrating to have picked up an injury at this time. I want nothing more than to return to the England side,

"I've put in a lot of hard work to get to this point after ankle surgery last year and I know I can overcome what isn't a significant injury....and will continue to do everything to make myself available for selection." Flintoff said.

Injury for any sportsman/woman is always tough especially for one with a catalogue of injuries dating back to 1999. Not only will Flintoff have to deal with the recovery process from the injury, self-doubts will creep in so it is as much of a mental rehabilitation as it is a physical one.

Let's hope we see this fantastic cricket player back in action in the test arena soon. [bbc.co.uk]
