Seamer Gus Atkinson Exacerbates England's Injury Worries.
'Significant concern' for the English camp as Atkinson goes off due to a hamstring issue.
The pace bowler further complicated England's injury problems after leaving the ground during Saturday's play in the Melbourne Test in the Ashes series.
Atkinson pulled up with his left hamstring post-delivery that he bowled on Saturday.
Team management stated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and was to take time away from the action for further assessment "in the coming hours".
The final Test in this Ashes battle at the SCG gets underway on Sunday, 4 January.
England have already lost key quicks Mark Wood with a knee problem and another paceman because of a side injury on the current trip.
A replacement bowler was brought into the squad as injury reinforcement.
His form was underwhelming early in the series, managing only three wickets.
He was dropped of the third Test, then recalled for the Boxing Day match as Archer's replacement.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets in Australia's first innings, and scoring 28 runs with the bat being one of only three English batsmen to get into double digits.
Following a brief spell late on the first day, he came back the next day and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
Unfortunately, on the final ball of that over, he sent down a slower ball to Travis Head and promptly felt at his leg.
Gus Atkinson was recalled for the Boxing Day Test having missed the previous Test.
