Paceman Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for the English camp as Atkinson leaves the field suffering a hamstring problem.
The English seamer further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the ground during Saturday's play of the Boxing Day Test versus the Australians.
The pace bowler pulled up with his left leg after the final ball in his spell on Saturday.
The touring camp indicated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and would spend time away from the action for further assessment "in the coming hours".
The final Test of the series beginning on 4 January begins at the end of the week.
The visitors have been without fast bowlers Mark Wood due to knee trouble and another paceman with an abdominal strain on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad as injury reinforcement.
The seamer had a tough time during the first two matches, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was left out of the third Test, before being recalled for the Boxing Day match in the playing XI.
The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, claiming a couple of wickets with the ball, before adding 28 as a batsman as one of just three English batsmen to get into double digits.
Post a single over in Australia's second innings, he came back on Saturday morning and had nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
Yet, at the end of his spell, he delivered a slower ball to Travis Head and immediately felt for his hamstring.
The English bowler was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test after being left out the previous Test.
