Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Compounds England's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for the English camp as Atkinson is forced off with a hamstring injury.
The English seamer added to the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the playing area during Saturday's play in the Melbourne Test in the Ashes series.
Atkinson pulled up with his left hamstring immediately following a delivery that he bowled during the morning session.
The touring camp stated Atkinson had experienced "tightness" and was to take time away from the action to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".
The concluding match in this Ashes battle beginning on 4 January begins at the end of the week.
The visitors have already lost fast bowlers Mark Wood to a knee injury and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain on this Ashes tour.
A replacement bowler was called up to provide backup.
Atkinson struggled early in the series, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was left out from the previous Test, then recalled for the Melbourne Test to fill the void.
The county bowler improved at the MCG, bagging two scalps in Australia's first innings, and scoring 28 runs with the bat being one of only three teammates to get into double digits.
Post a single over in Australia's second innings, he resumed on Saturday morning and had nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
However, on the final ball of the fifth over, he bowled a variation to the batsman and immediately felt at his leg.
The English bowler was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test following his omission of the third.
