Lyon sustained a “significant calf injury” while fielding on day two at Lord’s, and he had to be assisted by the Australian medical staff around the boundary.
Cricket Australia confirmed that Lyon will require a period of rehabilitation after the conclusion of the match, and a decision on his availability for the rest of the series will be postponed until afterward.
