"We have another two weeks to go for our first match in the Champions Trophy and it is not a worry. Sehwag's fitness condition will known by tomorrow evening," Vengsarkar told PTI.

Sehwag twisted his ankle yesterday in India Blue's match against India Red in the Challenger Series cricket tournament for the NKP Salve Trophy here.

Opening the innings with Sachin Tendulkar, Sehwag injured his ankle while turning around for a second run in the 13th over when his score was 23 and the team's 77 without loss.

He had on-field medical attention but was out shortly after adding four more runs to his individual score.
