Paceman Atkinson Adds to England's Injury Worries.
'Serious blow' for England after Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.
Gus Atkinson further complicated England's injury problems upon exiting the playing area on the second morning in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his left hamstring post-delivery in his spell on Saturday.
The touring camp reported Atkinson had experienced "tightness" and required time off the field for further assessment "during the day".
The series decider of the series in Sydney begins this coming Sunday.
The visitors have previously lost key quicks one seamer due to knee trouble and Jofra Archer because of a side injury on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party as injury reinforcement.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was left out of the third Test, then recalled for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement.
Atkinson improved at the MCG, taking two wickets with the ball, before adding 28 while batting being one of only three England players who passed ten runs.
After bowling one over in Australia's second innings, he resumed the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper.
Unfortunately, towards the conclusion of the fifth over, he delivered a change of pace to the batsman and immediately felt at his leg.
Gus Atkinson was brought back for the Melbourne match after being left out of the third.
