Seamer Gus Atkinson Compounds the English team's Injury Problems.

'Significant concern' for the English camp after Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.

The English seamer increased the fitness woes of the England squad after leaving the ground early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.

The right-arm seamer experienced discomfort in his hamstring post-delivery of the fourth over at the MCG.

The England team indicated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and would spend time off the field in order to be assessed "in the coming hours".

The concluding match in this Ashes battle in Sydney begins at the end of the week.

England have already lost strike bowlers Mark Wood with a knee problem and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain during this series.

Matthew Fisher was added to the party as injury reinforcement.

The seamer had a tough time early in the series, taking just a handful of scalps.

He was left out from the previous Test, before being recalled for the fourth Test in the playing XI.

Surrey's Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, bagging two scalps with the ball, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman being one of only three England players to reach double figures.

Post a single over at the end of day one, he returned for the second day's play and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.

However, at the end of the fifth over, he sent down a change of pace to Travis Head and immediately felt at his leg.

The English bowler was brought back for the Boxing Day Test following his omission the previous Test.
