Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Serious blow' for the English camp after Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.
Gus Atkinson increased the fitness woes of the England squad upon exiting the field during Saturday's play of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.
The right-arm seamer pulled up with his hamstring immediately following a delivery in his spell on Saturday.
Team management stated the 27-year-old had experienced "tightness" and would spend time away from the action in order to be assessed "over the next few hours".
The concluding match of the tour beginning on 4 January begins on Sunday, 4 January.
The English side has been without fast bowlers Mark Wood with a knee problem and another paceman to a side strain on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was called up as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was dropped from the previous Test, before being recalled for the Melbourne Test in the playing XI.
The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, taking two wickets during the host's first knock, then making 28 while batting being one of only three England players who passed ten runs.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he resumed the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
However, towards the conclusion of that over, he delivered a change of pace to the batsman and suddenly grabbed at his leg.
Atkinson was recalled for the Boxing Day Test having missed the previous Test.
