Seamer Gus Atkinson Exacerbates England's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for the English camp as Atkinson is forced off with a hamstring injury.
The pace bowler added to England's injury problems when he left the ground early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.
The pace bowler pulled up with his hamstring after the final ball in his spell during the morning session.
The touring camp reported Atkinson had experienced "tightness" and required time on the sidelines to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".
The concluding match of the series beginning on 4 January starts this coming Sunday.
The English side has been without key quicks Mark Wood with a knee problem and another paceman because of a side injury on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party to provide backup.
The seamer had a tough time during the first two matches, taking just a handful of scalps.
He was omitted from the previous Test, only to be brought back for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler improved at the MCG, taking two wickets in Australia's first innings, before adding 28 as a batsman being one of only three England players to get into double digits.
Following a brief spell in Australia's second innings, he returned on Saturday morning and removed Scott Boland edging to the keeper.
Unfortunately, at the end of his spell, he bowled a slower ball to the batsman and immediately felt for his hamstring.
Atkinson was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test having missed the Adelaide game.
