Paceman Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Worries.
'Significant concern' for the touring side as Atkinson is forced off with a hamstring injury.
Gus Atkinson further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the playing area early on day two in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
Atkinson experienced discomfort in his hamstring after the final ball that he bowled at the MCG.
Team management indicated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and required time off the field in order to be assessed "during the day".
The series decider of the tour beginning on 4 January starts on Sunday, 4 January.
England have previously lost key quicks Mark Wood to a knee injury and Jofra Archer to a side strain during this series.
Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad to provide backup.
Atkinson struggled in the opening two Tests, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, then recalled for the Boxing Day match to fill the void.
Atkinson improved at the MCG, claiming a couple of wickets in Australia's first innings, then making 28 while batting being one of only three English batsmen to get into double digits.
Post a single over at the end of day one, he resumed the next day and had nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Yet, towards the conclusion of his spell, he delivered a slower ball to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed his left hamstring.
Gus Atkinson returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test having missed the previous Test.
