Australia opening batsman Shaun Marsh is a doubt for next month's first Test against South Africa after suffering a hamstring injury in a domestic cup match this weekend.
Marsh, who missed Australia's recent ODI tour of South Africa with a broken finger, was hurt during his innings of 70 for Western Australia against Tasmania in the Matador One-Day Cup on Saturday.
WA Cricket described Marsh's injury as a "low grade tear".
"Marsh will return to Perth where he will undergo rehabilitation with a view to being available for selection for the opening Test of the three-match series against South Africa at the WACA Ground next month," WA Cricket said in a statement.
Marsh returned to the Australia Test side for the final match in Sri Lanka, replacing Joe Burns, and scored 130 - his second Test century in as many matches after a career-best 182 against West Indies last December.
The first Test begins in Perth on November 3, leaving Marsh less than three weeks to prove his fitness.
Burns and Usman Khawaja, who were both dropped in Sri Lanka, are in line to replace Marsh should he be unavailable for selection.
