England could make as many as five changes for the final Ashes Test in Hobart.
Jos Buttler has already left the country after suffering an injury in Sydney, while opener Haseem Hameed and spinner Jack Leach will also be axed.
The Cricketer is reporting that James Anderson will also be rested, with Chris Woakes expected to take his spot.
Sam Billings will enter the side to keep wicket, while Rory Burns will receive a lifeline at the top of the order.
Ollie Robinson will return from a minor injury.
Ben Stokes is set to play through the pain of a side strain, though Ollie Pope will be on standby to take his spot if required.
Australia meanwhile has decisions of their own to make, with an injury cloud over Scott Boland and middle order batsman Travis Head available after missing the Sydney Test with COVID.
Opener Marcus Harris is expected to make way after Usman Khawaja’s man of the match performance.
