Paceman Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Problems.

'Significant concern' for the English camp after Atkinson leaves the field with a hamstring injury.

The English seamer added to the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the playing area on the second morning in the Melbourne Test against Australia.

The pace bowler pulled up with his hamstring post-delivery in his spell during the morning session.

The touring camp reported Atkinson felt some "soreness" and required time on the sidelines in order to be assessed "over the next few hours".

The concluding match of the tour at the SCG begins this coming Sunday.

The English side has previously lost strike bowlers one seamer to a knee injury and Jofra Archer to a side strain on the current trip.

Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad as injury reinforcement.

Atkinson struggled during the first two matches, taking just a handful of scalps.

He was omitted for the Adelaide match, only to be brought back for the Melbourne Test to fill the void.

The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, claiming a couple of wickets during the host's first knock, and scoring 28 runs while batting among just a trio of English batsmen who passed ten runs.

Following a brief spell late on the first day, he came back the next day and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.

However, towards the conclusion of that over, he bowled a slower ball to the batsman and immediately felt for his hamstring.

Gus Atkinson returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test following his omission the previous Test.
