Fast bowler Atkinson Exacerbates England's Injury Problems.

'Serious blow' for the English camp after Atkinson leaves the field suffering a hamstring problem.

Gus Atkinson added to the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the field on the second morning of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.

The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his left leg post-delivery that he bowled during the morning session.

The England team indicated Atkinson reported "discomfort" and was to take time off the field to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".

The series decider of the tour at the SCG starts at the end of the week.

The visitors have been without strike bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and Jofra Archer to a side strain on the current trip.

Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad to provide backup.

The seamer had a tough time early in the series, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.

He was dropped of the third Test, before being recalled for the Boxing Day match in the playing XI.

The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets with the ball, and scoring 28 runs while batting being one of only three English batsmen to get into double digits.

Post a single over at the end of day one, he returned on Saturday morning and removed Scott Boland edging to the keeper.

However, on the final ball of his spell, he delivered a variation to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed at his leg.

The English bowler returned to the side for the Boxing Day Test following his omission of the third.
