Seamer Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Problems.
'Significant concern' for England after Atkinson is forced off suffering a hamstring problem.
The pace bowler increased the fitness woes of the England squad when he left the ground early on day two in the Melbourne Test versus the Australians.
The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his left hamstring post-delivery of the fourth over during the morning session.
Team management indicated the 27-year-old felt some "soreness" and would spend time off the field for further assessment "in the coming hours".
The final Test in this Ashes battle beginning on 4 January gets underway on Sunday, 4 January.
England have already lost fast bowlers one seamer to a knee injury and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party to provide backup.
The seamer had a tough time early in the series, taking just three wickets.
He was left out from the previous Test, then recalled for the fourth Test to fill the void.
Surrey's Atkinson improved at the MCG, claiming a couple of wickets during the host's first knock, before adding 28 while batting as one of just three English batsmen who passed ten runs.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he resumed for the second day's play and removed Scott Boland edging to the keeper.
Yet, towards the conclusion of that over, he bowled a variation to Travis Head and promptly felt his left hamstring.
The English bowler was brought back for the Melbourne match following his omission the previous Test.
