"Tim felt pain in his left foot early in the second innings and was forced to come off," Hesson said in a statement after the team's eight-wicket defeat in the third ODI at Nelson yesterday.
"We're not sure of the nature of the injury at this point and will need to find out more information over the coming days," Hesson added.
New Zealand hold a 2-1 lead in the five-match series after winning both test matches prior to the one-dayers.
