Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Fitness Problems.
'Major setback' for the English camp after Atkinson leaves the field due to a hamstring issue.
The pace bowler increased the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the field early on day two in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
The pace bowler felt a problem in his hamstring post-delivery that he bowled at the MCG.
Team management stated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and required time on the sidelines to undergo evaluation "during the day".
The series decider of the series in Sydney starts on Sunday, 4 January.
The English side has previously lost key quicks one seamer due to knee trouble and another paceman with an abdominal strain on this Ashes tour.
A replacement bowler was called up to provide backup.
Atkinson struggled in the opening two Tests, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was omitted of the third Test, before being recalled for the Melbourne Test as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets with the ball, before adding 28 while batting among just a trio of England players to get into double digits.
Following a brief spell at the end of day one, he returned for the second day's play and dismissed the nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper.
However, on the final ball of the fifth over, he delivered a change of pace to the batsman and suddenly grabbed for his hamstring.
Atkinson was brought back for the Melbourne match having missed the previous Test.
