Seamer Gus Atkinson Compounds England's Injury Worries.
'Significant concern' for the English camp after Atkinson goes off with a hamstring injury.
The English seamer further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the field on the second morning of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his left leg immediately following a delivery that he bowled on Saturday.
Team management reported Atkinson felt some "soreness" and required time away from the action in order to be assessed "during the day".
The concluding match of the series at the SCG gets underway this coming Sunday.
England have already lost key quicks Mark Wood with a knee problem and another paceman with an abdominal strain during this series.
A replacement bowler was added to the party as cover for Wood.
His form was underwhelming in the opening two Tests, managing only three wickets.
He was left out from the previous Test, then recalled for the Boxing Day match in the playing XI.
Surrey's Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, taking two wickets with the ball, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman among just a trio of teammates to get into double digits.
After bowling one over late on the first day, he resumed on Saturday morning and had nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
Yet, on the final ball of his spell, he delivered a change of pace to the batsman and immediately felt at his leg.
Atkinson returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test after being left out the Adelaide game.
