Seamer Gus Atkinson Compounds the English team's Fitness Worries.
'Serious blow' for the English camp after Atkinson goes off due to a hamstring issue.
Gus Atkinson further complicated England's injury problems after leaving the field on the second morning of the fourth Ashes Test in the Ashes series.
Atkinson pulled up with his left hamstring post-delivery that he bowled during the morning session.
The touring camp reported Atkinson felt some "soreness" and was to take time on the sidelines to undergo evaluation "over the next few hours".
The series decider of the tour beginning on 4 January begins this coming Sunday.
England have been without key quicks Mark Wood with a knee problem and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad to provide backup.
The seamer had a tough time during the first two matches, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, only to be brought back for the Boxing Day match to fill the void.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets during the host's first knock, then making 28 while batting being one of only three England players to reach double figures.
After bowling one over in Australia's second innings, he resumed the next day and had nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
However, towards the conclusion of that over, he sent down a variation to the batsman and promptly felt at his leg.
Atkinson returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test after being left out the Adelaide game.
