Paceman Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Fitness Concerns.
'Significant concern' for England as Atkinson goes off due to a hamstring issue.
The pace bowler increased England's injury problems upon exiting the ground on the second morning of the Boxing Day Test against Australia.
The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his left leg immediately following a delivery that he bowled during the morning session.
The England team indicated Atkinson reported "discomfort" and would spend time on the sidelines in order to be assessed "in the coming hours".
The final Test of the tour beginning on 4 January gets underway on Sunday, 4 January.
The English side has previously lost key quicks Mark Wood with a knee problem and another paceman with an abdominal strain on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was called up to provide backup.
Atkinson struggled in the opening two Tests, taking just three wickets.
He was dropped of the third Test, before being recalled for the fourth Test to fill the void.
The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, claiming a couple of wickets in Australia's first innings, before adding 28 while batting being one of only three English batsmen to reach double figures.
After bowling one over in Australia's second innings, he returned on Saturday morning and dismissed the nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Unfortunately, at the end of his spell, he bowled a change of pace to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed his left hamstring.
Gus Atkinson was brought back for the fourth Ashes Test having missed the Adelaide game.
