Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Compounds the English team's Fitness Concerns.
'Major setback' for England after Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.
The pace bowler further complicated England's injury problems after leaving the playing area during Saturday's play in the Melbourne Test versus the Australians.
The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his hamstring immediately following a delivery that he bowled at the MCG.
The touring camp indicated Atkinson had experienced "tightness" and was to take time off the field to undergo evaluation "during the day".
The concluding match of the tour in Sydney begins this coming Sunday.
The English side has been without strike bowlers Mark Wood to a knee injury and Jofra Archer because of a side injury on the current trip.
A replacement bowler was brought into the squad as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was omitted from the previous Test, only to be brought back for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, bagging two scalps in Australia's first innings, before adding 28 as a batsman being one of only three England players who passed ten runs.
After bowling one over late on the first day, he returned on Saturday morning and removed Scott Boland Scott Boland caught behind.
However, at the end of his spell, he sent down a slower ball to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed at his leg.
Atkinson was recalled for the Melbourne match having missed the Adelaide game.
