Paceman Atkinson Adds to England's Injury Worries.
'Major setback' for the English camp after Atkinson goes off with a hamstring injury.
Gus Atkinson further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the ground early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.
The pace bowler pulled up with his left hamstring post-delivery that he bowled during the morning session.
Team management stated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and was to take time away from the action to undergo evaluation "over the next few hours".
The series decider of the tour at the SCG begins on Sunday, 4 January.
England have already lost fast bowlers one seamer due to knee trouble and another paceman to a side strain during this series.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party as injury reinforcement.
His form was underwhelming early in the series, claiming a mere three wickets.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, then recalled for the Boxing Day match in the playing XI.
Surrey's Atkinson showed better form in Melbourne, taking two wickets during the host's first knock, before adding 28 as a batsman as one of just three teammates to get into double digits.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he returned for the second day's play and had nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
However, at the end of that over, he sent down a change of pace to the batsman and promptly felt at his leg.
Gus Atkinson was brought back for the fourth Ashes Test having missed of the third.
