England will be a pace bowler down for the remainder of the third Ashes cricket test in Perth, but he might bat in the second innings, depending on the situation of the match.
The lanky pace bowler was struck on the right boot by a full delivery from the Australian pace bowler Mitchell Johnson and immediately left the field and was taken to hospital for x-rays which turned out to be a bit inconclusive, so he had an MRI scan.
27-year-old Broad hopes that ice and elevation over the next 10 days will enable him to play in the fourth test, which starts in Melbourne on Boxing Day.
Australia are well placed to regain the Ashes over the next two days. They're 235 for 3 in their second innings, leading overall by 369 runs.
