Paceman Gus Atkinson Compounds the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Serious blow' for the English camp after Atkinson leaves the field suffering a hamstring problem.
The English seamer further complicated England's injury problems upon exiting the playing area early on day two of the Boxing Day Test versus the Australians.
Atkinson pulled up with his left hamstring immediately following a delivery that he bowled on Saturday.
The England team reported Atkinson reported "discomfort" and required time away from the action to undergo evaluation "over the next few hours".
The concluding match of the tour in Sydney gets underway this coming Sunday.
The visitors have already lost key quicks Mark Wood with a knee problem and Jofra Archer to a side strain on this Ashes tour.
A replacement bowler was called up as cover for Wood.
His form was underwhelming during the first two matches, taking just three wickets.
He was omitted of the third Test, before being recalled for the fourth Test in the playing XI.
Surrey's Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets in Australia's first innings, then making 28 with the bat being one of only three England players who passed ten runs.
Post a single over late on the first day, he returned the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Yet, towards the conclusion of that over, he delivered a change of pace to Travis Head and promptly felt for his hamstring.
Atkinson was recalled for the Melbourne match after being left out the previous Test.
