Paceman Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Concerns.

The English seamer further complicated England's injury problems after leaving the ground on the second morning of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.

The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his hamstring after the final ball that he bowled on Saturday.

The touring camp stated Atkinson reported "discomfort" and required time away from the action for further assessment "during the day".

The final Test of the tour in Sydney starts at the end of the week.

The English side has been without key quicks Mark Wood due to knee trouble and Jofra Archer because of a side injury during this series.

Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad to provide backup.

The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, taking just three wickets.

He was left out of the third Test, before being recalled for the Melbourne Test to fill the void.

Surrey's Atkinson improved at the MCG, bagging two scalps in Australia's first innings, then making 28 while batting being one of only three teammates to reach double figures.

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, towards the conclusion of his spell, he bowled a variation to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed for his hamstring.
