Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Compounds England's Fitness Concerns.
'Significant concern' for England after Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.
The pace bowler increased England's injury problems when he left the playing area early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.
The pace bowler pulled up with his left leg after the final ball that he bowled at the MCG.
The touring camp stated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and was to take time off the field for further assessment "in the coming hours".
The final Test in this Ashes battle at the SCG starts this coming Sunday.
England have been without fast bowlers Mark Wood with a knee problem and another paceman because of a side injury during this series.
A replacement bowler was added to the party as injury reinforcement.
His form was underwhelming during the first two matches, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, only to be brought back for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, taking two wickets in Australia's first innings, then making 28 with the bat as one of just three English batsmen who passed ten runs.
Post a single over in Australia's second innings, he resumed for the second day's play and had nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
Yet, at the end of his spell, he bowled a variation to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed at his leg.
Gus Atkinson returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test following his omission of the third.
