Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Compounds the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for England after Atkinson leaves the field suffering a hamstring problem.
Gus Atkinson increased the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the ground on the second morning of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.
The pace bowler pulled up with his left leg post-delivery of the fourth over during the morning session.
The touring camp indicated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and required time away from the action for further assessment "over the next few hours".
The concluding match of the tour beginning on 4 January starts on Sunday, 4 January.
England have been without fast bowlers Mark Wood due to knee trouble and Jofra Archer to a side strain on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was called up to provide backup.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was dropped for the Adelaide match, only to be brought back for the Boxing Day match to fill the void.
The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, taking two wickets with the ball, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman as one of just three England players to get into double digits.
After bowling one over in Australia's second innings, he returned the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
Yet, at the end of that over, he delivered a change of pace to the batsman and promptly felt for his hamstring.
The English bowler was recalled for the Melbourne match following his omission of the third.
