The spinner picked up the problem during the 4-0 thrashing of India but will now be rehabilitated in order to recover before the West Indies tour, which starts from the third week of March.
Lyon averaged 41.57 during the home summer where his most fruitful outing came in the final Test at his home ground of Adelaide, where he picked up five scalps in the game.
