Dykes facing extended stint on sidelines
Adam Dykes may still have fractured a rib which will keep him out of action for "several weeks", an AAP report said today.
Early report suggested Dykes may only have deep bruising, however further tests have shown the injury may be more serious than first thought.
The AAP report quoted a spokesperson as saying: "Initial x-rays said there was no fracture but he's had other scans which revealed it in more detail and perhaps there is a crack there - he will be checked in a week or two to see how he is healing."
