Paceman Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Problems.
'Significant concern' for the touring side after Atkinson is forced off due to a hamstring issue.
Gus Atkinson further complicated England's injury problems when he left the field on the second morning of the Boxing Day Test against Australia.
Atkinson pulled up with his hamstring immediately following a delivery that he bowled at the MCG.
The touring camp stated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and would spend time away from the action for further assessment "over the next few hours".
The final Test of the series at the SCG starts this coming Sunday.
The English side has already lost fast bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain on the current trip.
A replacement bowler was called up as injury reinforcement.
The seamer had a tough time early in the series, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was dropped for the Adelaide match, then recalled for the Melbourne Test to fill the void.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, bagging two scalps with the ball, before adding 28 with the bat among just a trio of teammates who passed ten runs.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he returned for the second day's play and removed Scott Boland edging to the keeper.
However, on the final ball of his spell, he sent down a slower ball to the batsman and suddenly grabbed at his leg.
The English bowler returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test after being left out the Adelaide game.
