Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson suffered a wound fright just days before he is planned to leave for the tour of South Africa.
Johnson's back foot slipped and he warped his ankle when running in to bowl his seventh over for Western Australia in their Sheffield protect clash against Tasmania.
He was enforced to leave the field with a noticeable limp after a disobedient spell of 6.4 overs in which he return figures of none for 32.
A Western Australia representative said Johnson was undergoing treatment and the extent of the injury would be known tomorrow morning.
The 29-year-old left-armed is due to go away for South Africa with the one-day international team on Friday and, if obtainable, is also likely to be concerned in the two-Test series.
Johnson's participation for Australia is key after fellow pace man Brett Lee was yesterday ruled out of the tour with appendicitis.
The wound came on the back of a hard first day for the Warriors, who were bowled out for just 176 before the Tigers made it to stump at 143 for five, with George Bailey not out on 49. Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting made 33.
