Paceman Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for the touring side after Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.
Gus Atkinson further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the ground during Saturday's play of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.
The right-arm seamer experienced discomfort in his left leg post-delivery of the fourth over on Saturday.
The England team stated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and required time off the field to undergo evaluation "during the day".
The final Test of the tour beginning on 4 January gets underway this coming Sunday.
England have been without fast bowlers Mark Wood to a knee injury and another paceman to a side strain on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time early in the series, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was dropped of the third Test, before being recalled for the fourth Test to fill the void.
Atkinson showed better form in Melbourne, claiming a couple of wickets in Australia's first innings, then making 28 as a batsman among just a trio of teammates to reach double figures.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he came back on Saturday morning and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
However, on the final ball of that over, he sent down a slower ball to the batsman and promptly felt his left hamstring.
Atkinson was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test after being left out the Adelaide game.
