England's Chris Woakes Suffers Injury Setback During Crucial Test

In a significant setback for England, seamer Chris Woakes has been ruled out of the concluding Test against India following a suspected shoulder dislocation. The injury comes as England leads the five-match series 2-1.

Woakes sustained the injury while fielding a ball struck by Karun Nair, awkwardly landing on his left shoulder during the opening day of play. The incident forced Woakes off the field, visibly in pain, his left arm wrapped in a sweater.

The absence of Woakes, who managed to bowl 14 overs and claim a critical wicket before his exit, adds to the team's mounting injury concerns, with several players, including captain Ben Stokes, already sidelined. Despite the challenges, teammate Gus Atkinson remains optimistic and prepared to take on increased responsibilities in the final Test.
