Durham and England fast bowler Steve Harmison will see a specialist after being troubled by a shin problem in the opening weeks of the new season.
The 30-year-old had been hoping to impress for his county in a bid to regain his place in the England team, but could now face a spell on the sidelines.
Durham coach Geoff Cook told BBC Radio Newcastle: "He's seeing a specialist over the next couple of days as it's been getting worse and worse.
"We want him fit for the remainder of the season, so he will have to be carefully monitored."
Harmison has played in 61 Test matches to date, taking 221 wickets at an average of 31.78.
