Tennis Elbow Forces Clark To Miss The Summer Series

by priya on December 15, 2008 at 4:35 PM Celebrity Health News

Australian pacer Stuart Clark faces an uncertain sporting future and could miss the remainder of the summer if, as expected, he has surgery to remove bone spurs from his bowling elbow.

Clark has carried the injury for months, but succumbed to renewed pain days before the Perth Test against world No. 2 South Africa, in which his needling bounce was expected to cause problems in helpful conditions.

A dejected Clark conceded that surgery, which is the most likely course of action, would probably rule him out for the season.

While he said he is determined to make a successful comeback, he also said this cannot be taken for granted, given his age - 33 - and the delicate nature of the condition for a fast bowler.

"It's no secret that I have had a bad elbow for a while. It's flared up. It's not acceptable to play. I think it's a throwing issue that has just got worse over time. It's something that hasn't affected me until recently, until, I suppose, the Indian series," he said.

"I've got to go back to Sydney or Melbourne and get the [surgery] process rolling. I hope there's another scenario but I don't really know. I thought it was getting bet," he added.

Victorian pace bowler Peter Siddle has been summoned to Perth as a replacement.

Australian team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris was confident, though not certain, Clark would return to top-flight cricket if surgery was required.
