Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Compounds England's Fitness Concerns.
'Serious blow' for the English camp as Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.
Gus Atkinson further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the field on the second morning of the fourth Ashes Test in the Ashes series.
Atkinson felt a problem in his left leg post-delivery in his spell on Saturday.
The touring camp stated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and would spend time away from the action for further assessment "in the coming hours".
The concluding match of the tour beginning on 4 January gets underway this coming Sunday.
The English side has already lost strike bowlers Mark Wood with a knee problem and Jofra Archer to a side strain on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad to provide backup.
His form was underwhelming in the opening two Tests, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was dropped from the previous Test, then recalled for the Melbourne Test as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, taking two wickets in Australia's first innings, then making 28 while batting being one of only three English batsmen to get into double digits.
Post a single over late on the first day, he returned the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
Yet, towards the conclusion of that over, he sent down a slower ball to Travis Head and promptly felt at his leg.
The English bowler was brought back for the Boxing Day Test following his omission of the third.
