Seamer Gus Atkinson Adds to England's Fitness Problems.
'Major setback' for the touring side after Atkinson leaves the field with a hamstring injury.
The pace bowler added to England's injury problems upon exiting the ground early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test in the Ashes series.
Atkinson pulled up with his left hamstring immediately following a delivery that he bowled at the MCG.
The touring camp indicated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and would spend time away from the action in order to be assessed "in the coming hours".
The concluding match in this Ashes battle in Sydney gets underway this coming Sunday.
The English side has previously lost fast bowlers one seamer to a knee injury and Jofra Archer because of a side injury during this series.
A replacement bowler was called up as injury reinforcement.
His form was underwhelming early in the series, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was dropped of the third Test, then recalled for the fourth Test in the playing XI.
Atkinson showed better form in Melbourne, bagging two scalps with the ball, then making 28 as a batsman as one of just three England players to get into double digits.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he came back on Saturday morning and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
Yet, on the final ball of that over, he sent down a variation to the batsman and immediately felt for his hamstring.
Atkinson was brought back for the fourth Ashes Test having missed the Adelaide game.
