Paceman Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for the touring side after Atkinson goes off due to a hamstring issue.
Gus Atkinson added to the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the field early on day two in the Melbourne Test versus the Australians.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his left hamstring post-delivery in his spell during the morning session.
Team management indicated Atkinson reported "discomfort" and required time off the field to undergo evaluation "over the next few hours".
The final Test of the series at the SCG begins at the end of the week.
The visitors have previously lost strike bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and another paceman because of a side injury during this series.
A replacement bowler was brought into the squad as injury reinforcement.
Atkinson struggled during the first two matches, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, before being recalled for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement.
Surrey's Atkinson improved at the MCG, taking two wickets during the host's first knock, before adding 28 while batting among just a trio of teammates to get into double digits.
Following a brief spell at the end of day one, he returned on Saturday morning and removed Scott Boland edging to the keeper.
Unfortunately, at the end of his spell, he bowled a variation to Travis Head and immediately felt for his hamstring.
The English bowler returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test after being left out the previous Test.
