Seamer Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Worries.
'Significant concern' for England as Atkinson leaves the field with a hamstring injury.
Gus Atkinson further complicated England's injury problems after leaving the ground early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.
Atkinson pulled up with his hamstring after the final ball that he bowled on Saturday.
The touring camp stated Atkinson had experienced "tightness" and would spend time off the field to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".
The concluding match of the series in Sydney starts this coming Sunday.
The English side has previously lost key quicks Mark Wood to a knee injury and Jofra Archer because of a side injury on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad to provide backup.
Atkinson struggled during the first two matches, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was omitted for the Adelaide match, only to be brought back for the Boxing Day match to fill the void.
The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, claiming a couple of wickets in Australia's first innings, and scoring 28 runs with the bat among just a trio of English batsmen to reach double figures.
After bowling one over late on the first day, he resumed for the second day's play and dismissed the nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Unfortunately, towards the conclusion of his spell, he bowled a slower ball to Travis Head and promptly felt his left hamstring.
The English bowler was recalled for the Melbourne match having missed the Adelaide game.
