England captain Michael Vaughan could miss Friday's game against Australia after injuring his left hamstring.
The 32-year-old batsman was hurt while fielding in the win over New Zealand and will undergo a scan in Hobart.
England fly to Brisbane on Wednesday and Vaughan said: "If I am honest, at the minute it is extremely doubtful.
"I've not had a hamstring injury before and it is new to me in that I don't know how they react overnight or what it will be like getting on a plane."
Vaughan clutched the back of his left leg in pain after running round from backward point and turning sharply during New Zealand's innings.
He required a runner soon after coming out to bat and made 17 as England clinched a three-wicket win - their first victory during the tour of Australia.
The Yorkshire star was playing only his second one-day international after surgery to solve career-threatening problems on his right knee.
He was forced to return home early from the winter tours of Pakistan and India in 2005/6.
