Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Compounds the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for the touring side 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 versus the Australians.
Atkinson experienced discomfort in his left hamstring immediately following a delivery of the fourth over at the MCG.
The touring camp indicated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and was to take time off the field in order to be assessed "over the next few hours".
The series decider in this Ashes battle at the SCG gets underway on Sunday, 4 January.
The English side has been without key quicks Mark Wood to a knee injury and another paceman because of a side injury on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party to provide backup.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was dropped of the third Test, before being recalled for the Melbourne Test in the playing XI.
The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets with the ball, before adding 28 with the bat being one of only three England players to get into double digits.
Post a single over late on the first day, he came back on Saturday morning and dismissed the nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
Unfortunately, towards the conclusion of his spell, he bowled a variation to Travis Head and immediately felt his left hamstring.
Atkinson was brought back for the fourth Ashes Test after being left out the Adelaide game.
