Seamer Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Worries.

'Significant concern' for the English camp after Atkinson is forced off due to a hamstring issue.

The English seamer added to the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the playing area during Saturday's play of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.

The right-arm seamer pulled up with his left hamstring after the final ball of the fourth over at the MCG.

Team management stated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and was to take time on the sidelines in order to be assessed "in the coming hours".

The concluding match of the series in Sydney begins at the end of the week.

England have already lost key quicks Mark Wood with a knee problem and another paceman with an abdominal strain on this Ashes tour.

Matthew Fisher was added to the party as cover for Wood.

Atkinson struggled during the first two matches, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.

He was omitted for the Adelaide match, then recalled for the Boxing Day match as Archer's replacement.

Surrey's Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets in Australia's first innings, then making 28 with the bat among just a trio of English batsmen to get into double digits.

Post a single over in Australia's second innings, he returned the next day and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.

Unfortunately, towards the conclusion of that over, he delivered a variation to the batsman and suddenly grabbed for his hamstring.

Gus Atkinson was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test after being left out of the third.
