Paceman Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Fitness Concerns.
'Significant concern' for the English camp as Atkinson is forced off suffering a hamstring problem.
The English seamer added to the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the playing area early on day two of the Boxing Day Test versus the Australians.
The pace bowler pulled up with his left hamstring post-delivery in his spell at the MCG.
Team management stated the 27-year-old had experienced "tightness" and required time off the field to undergo evaluation "during the day".
The final Test of the series in Sydney begins at the end of the week.
The visitors have already lost key quicks Mark Wood to a knee injury and Jofra Archer because of a side injury during this series.
A replacement bowler was added to the party as injury reinforcement.
The seamer had a tough time early in the series, taking just three wickets.
He was left out from the previous Test, before being recalled for the fourth Test to fill the void.
Surrey's Atkinson improved at the MCG, claiming a couple of wickets with the ball, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman among just a trio of England players to get into double digits.
Following a brief spell late on the first day, he resumed for the second day's play and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
Yet, at the end of that over, he delivered a variation to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed for his hamstring.
Atkinson was brought back for the Melbourne match having missed of the third.
