Seamer Gus Atkinson Exacerbates England's Injury Problems.
'Major setback' for the touring side after Atkinson leaves the field suffering a hamstring problem.
The English seamer further complicated England's injury problems upon exiting the field during Saturday's play of the fourth Ashes Test in the Ashes series.
The pace bowler pulled up with his left leg immediately following a delivery of the fourth over on Saturday.
Team management reported the 27-year-old felt some "soreness" and was to take time away from the action in order to be assessed "over the next few hours".
The series decider in this Ashes battle in Sydney gets underway this coming Sunday.
England have previously lost fast bowlers Mark Wood to a knee injury and another paceman because of a side injury during this series.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party as injury reinforcement.
The seamer had a tough time during the first two matches, taking just three wickets.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, before being recalled for the Melbourne Test to fill the void.
The county bowler improved at the MCG, bagging two scalps in Australia's first innings, then making 28 while batting as one of just three teammates to get into double digits.
Post a single over late on the first day, he came back for the second day's play and had nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper.
However, on the final ball of that over, he delivered a variation to Travis Head and promptly felt at his leg.
The English bowler was brought back for the fourth Ashes Test having missed the Adelaide game.
