Paceman Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Problems.
'Serious blow' for the English camp as Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.
The English seamer increased the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the field early on day two in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
Atkinson experienced discomfort in his left leg post-delivery that he bowled during the morning session.
Team management indicated Atkinson had experienced "tightness" and would spend time away from the action to undergo evaluation "over the next few hours".
The concluding match of the tour beginning on 4 January begins this coming Sunday.
England have already lost key quicks Mark Wood due to knee trouble and Jofra Archer to a side strain on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party to provide backup.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was dropped from the previous Test, only to be brought back for the fourth Test in the playing XI.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets during the host's first knock, and scoring 28 runs with the bat being one of only three England players to get into double digits.
Following a brief spell late on the first day, he came back the next day and removed Scott Boland edging to the keeper.
Yet, towards the conclusion of his spell, he sent down a slower ball to Travis Head and immediately felt at his leg.
Atkinson returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test following his omission the Adelaide game.
