The ECB said in a statement on Friday
The injury means Woakes will miss the rest of England’s participation in the Champions Trophy.
The 28-year-old bowled just two overs before leaving the field as England cantered to an eight-wicket victory after chasing down a victory target of 306 with 16 balls to spare.
"An update on a replacement for the seamer for the remainder of the tournament will follow in due course," the ECB added.
