Perth, Oct 24: England have yet to complete the first week of their Ashes tour and already they are considering calling up paceman Alex Tudor to cover injuries in the squad and hoping Michael Vaughan recovers from a knee problem. England were forced to rest fast bowlers Darren Gough (knee) and Andrew Flintoff (hernia) and opening batsman Vaughan from Tuesday's tour-opener against an Australian Cricket Board (ACB) Chairman's XI, which the tourists lost by 58 runs in Perth.

Vaughan is expected to be one of England's key weapons in the five-test series which starts in Brisbane on November 7. However, the Yorkshire right-hander is not yet certain to be available for the final lead-up match against Queensland.
"Vaughan has a very good chance of playing in the next three-day match against Queensland, starting in Brisbane on November 2," England coach Duncan Fletcher told a news conference in Perth on Wednesday.
"Gough is pretty positive. He has bowled on each of the past two days and there has been no reaction. He is feeling pretty bullish at this stage. Bureau Report
