Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Fitness Problems.
'Significant concern' for England after Atkinson is forced off suffering a hamstring problem.
Gus Atkinson further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England upon exiting the ground early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his left hamstring immediately following a delivery of the fourth over during the morning session.
The touring camp stated Atkinson reported "discomfort" and would spend time off the field for further assessment "during the day".
The final Test of the tour at the SCG gets underway at the end of the week.
The visitors have been without key quicks Mark Wood to a knee injury and another paceman with an abdominal strain on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party as injury reinforcement.
Atkinson struggled in the opening two Tests, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was dropped of the third Test, only to be brought back for the Boxing Day match as Archer's replacement.
Atkinson showed better form in Melbourne, taking two wickets during the host's first knock, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman as one of just three teammates to reach double figures.
Post a single over late on the first day, he returned the next day and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
Unfortunately, on the final ball of the fifth over, he bowled a variation to Travis Head and immediately felt at his leg.
Gus Atkinson was recalled for the Boxing Day Test after being left out of the third.
