Paceman Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Fitness Problems.
'Significant concern' for the English camp as Atkinson goes off with a hamstring injury.
The pace bowler added to the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the playing area early on day two in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his left leg immediately following a delivery in his spell at the MCG.
The touring camp reported the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and was to take time off the field for further assessment "over the next few hours".
The concluding match of the tour beginning on 4 January gets underway on Sunday, 4 January.
The English side has already lost strike bowlers Mark Wood to a knee injury and Jofra Archer to a side strain on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was called up as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was omitted from the previous Test, then recalled for the fourth Test to fill the void.
Surrey's Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, bagging two scalps in Australia's first innings, before adding 28 as a batsman among just a trio of English batsmen to get into double digits.
Post a single over late on the first day, he returned the next day and had nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Yet, on the final ball of the fifth over, he delivered a slower ball to the batsman and immediately felt his left hamstring.
Gus Atkinson was brought back for the Boxing Day Test having missed the Adelaide game.
