As such

Peter Siddle is still being troubled the back pain which kept him out of the third match of the series in Adelaide. As such he is in doubt for tomorrow's fifth ODI and therefore another fast bowler has been included as a standby player," Australian team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said.

Could you please explain to me what "as such" means in this context?

Because of this condition/situation. There's some sloppy writing here, by the way: "being troubled by the back pain; "he is in doubt" should be "his participation is in doubt"; there are a couple of commas missing. ]
