Fast bowler Atkinson Adds to England's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for the English camp as Atkinson leaves the field with a hamstring injury.
The pace bowler added to the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the ground on the second morning of the Boxing Day Test in the Ashes series.
The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his left hamstring post-delivery in his spell at the MCG.
The England team reported Atkinson reported "discomfort" and was to take time away from the action in order to be assessed "over the next few hours".
The series decider of the tour at the SCG gets underway at the end of the week.
The visitors have previously lost fast bowlers one seamer to a knee injury and another paceman because of a side injury on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party as injury reinforcement.
Atkinson struggled during the first two matches, claiming a mere three wickets.
He was omitted from the previous Test, then recalled for the fourth Test in the playing XI.
Surrey's Atkinson improved at the MCG, claiming a couple of wickets with the ball, then making 28 as a batsman being one of only three England players to reach double figures.
Following a brief spell in Australia's second innings, he returned the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Unfortunately, on the final ball of his spell, he sent down a slower ball to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed for his hamstring.
Gus Atkinson returned to the side for the Melbourne match having missed the previous Test.
