Darren Lehmann has said that he expects Michael Clarke to put his injury troubles behind him and continue his cricket career.

The Australia captain admitted that his latest injury, a torn hamstring that is anticipated to keep him out of the rest of their Test series against India, could force him to retire.

However, Aussie coach Lehmann told Sky Sports News: "I think he will be back. You have your fingers crossed, we will wait and see. He needs to get it right. He knows that, we know that."

Clarke, who scored a century in the first innings of his side's win over India at Adelaide, has battled a long-standing back problem in recent years.
