Seamer Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Worries.
'Major setback' for the English camp as Atkinson leaves the field due to a hamstring issue.
The English seamer increased England's injury problems when he left the ground early on day two of the Boxing Day Test versus the Australians.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his hamstring post-delivery of the fourth over during the morning session.
The England team stated Atkinson reported "discomfort" and required time off the field to undergo evaluation "during the day".
The final Test of the tour at the SCG starts this coming Sunday.
The visitors have been without strike bowlers one seamer due to knee trouble and another paceman because of a side injury on this Ashes tour.
A replacement bowler was added to the party to provide backup.
The seamer had a tough time early in the series, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was left out of the third Test, before being recalled for the Melbourne Test as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets during the host's first knock, then making 28 with the bat among just a trio of teammates to reach double figures.
Post a single over late on the first day, he returned for the second day's play and dismissed the nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper.
Unfortunately, towards the conclusion of that over, he sent down a change of pace to the batsman and immediately felt at his leg.
Atkinson returned to the side for the Boxing Day Test following his omission the previous Test.
