No, not Freddie too!

Things are looking very bleak for England. News has just arrived of Andrew Flintoff's latest ankle injury, which requires surgery next week, and a further 12 weeks of rehabilitation. He will not play another match in the English summer, and he will come to Australia without any match fitness - if he makes it on the plane at all.

With already three players of the Ashes Winning XI with fitness problems - Michael Vaughan, Flintoff and Simon Jones - one has to wonder if the series will be as huge as it has been anticipated. How many more players, from either team, will be removed from the contest?
