Paceman Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Problems.
'Serious blow' for the touring side after Atkinson leaves the field due to a hamstring issue.
The pace bowler further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England upon exiting the field early on day two in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
The pace bowler pulled up with his left leg post-delivery in his spell during the morning session.
The touring camp reported Atkinson felt some "soreness" and would spend time away from the action in order to be assessed "in the coming hours".
The concluding match of the tour at the SCG starts this coming Sunday.
England have previously lost fast bowlers Mark Wood due to knee trouble and Jofra Archer because of a side injury during this series.
Matthew Fisher was called up as injury reinforcement.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, taking just three wickets.
He was left out from the previous Test, only to be brought back for the Melbourne Test as Archer's replacement.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, taking two wickets in Australia's first innings, then making 28 with the bat being one of only three English batsmen to get into double digits.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he came back on Saturday morning and dismissed the nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Unfortunately, on the final ball of the fifth over, he delivered a variation to Travis Head and immediately felt his left hamstring.
The English bowler returned to the side for the Melbourne match after being left out of the third.
