Rishabh Pant, who got injured while batting on Day One of the 4th Test, will miss the remainder of the Test series, and is unlikely to take the field even in Manchester.
He has been ruled out of keeping wicket in the ongoing Test match, and the team management will decide whether he can bat if needed.
The fracture is understood to be of the metatarsal bone in the right foot and the initial diagnosis is that Pant would need six-to-eight weeks' rest.
The injury took place when Pant tried to reverse sweep a delivery from Chris Woakes, which instead crashed to his right foot. He was in visible pain immediately, had to retire hurt, and went off the ground on a golf buggy.
