Seamer Gus Atkinson Adds to England's Fitness Concerns.
'Serious blow' for the English camp as Atkinson leaves the field with a hamstring injury.
The English seamer added to the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the ground on the second morning of the Boxing Day Test versus the Australians.
The right-arm seamer experienced discomfort in his hamstring after the final ball that he bowled at the MCG.
The England team indicated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and required time off the field in order to be assessed "in the coming hours".
The concluding match of the tour in Sydney begins on Sunday, 4 January.
England have already lost strike bowlers one seamer to a knee injury and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain on this Ashes tour.
A replacement bowler was called up as injury reinforcement.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, taking just a handful of scalps.
He was left out from the previous Test, before being recalled for the Melbourne Test as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, claiming a couple of wickets with the ball, then making 28 while batting being one of only three England players who passed ten runs.
After bowling one over in Australia's second innings, he returned the next day and had nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
Yet, at the end of the fifth over, he sent down a slower ball to Travis Head and immediately felt his left hamstring.
Atkinson was recalled for the Melbourne match after being left out of the third.
