 Vaughan resigned as England captain in 2008
|
Former England captain Michael Vaughan suffered a twisted left knee warming up for the fourth day of Yorkshire's game with Worcestershire at Headingley.
The 34-year-old was injured playing football during the Yorkshire warm-up.
Director of cricket Martyn Moxon told BBC Radio Leeds: "Michael has a slightly twisted knee and will not field today (Friday) as a precaution.
"We are confident that he will be fit for Sunday's Friends Provident Trophy game with Gloucestershire."
Vaughan, who stepped down as England skipper last summer but remains centrally contracted to the England & Wales Cricket Board, has been receiving treatment at Headingley but Yorkshire do not anticipate it to be a serious injury at this stage.

606: DEBATE
|
Given that Yorkshire are set to spend the remainder of the final day's play in the field, his withdrawal is viewed as precautionary.
Earlier this week, he was overlooked for the squad for the first Test against West Indies.
Vaughan missed the 2001 Ashes series after having surgery on his left knee, and missed the first Test against New Zealand in 2004 because of problems with the same knee.
He had a persistent knee problem after the 2005 Ashes, which forced him to have surgery on the right knee in July 2006.
