Seamer Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Worries.
'Significant concern' for the touring side after Atkinson is forced off with a hamstring injury.
The English seamer added to the injury concerns plaguing England upon exiting the playing area during Saturday's play of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.
The right-arm seamer pulled up with his hamstring immediately following a delivery that he bowled at the MCG.
Team management reported Atkinson felt some "soreness" and required time on the sidelines for further assessment "during the day".
The series decider of the series at the SCG starts on Sunday, 4 January.
England have previously lost fast bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and Jofra Archer because of a side injury on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad as injury reinforcement.
The seamer had a tough time early in the series, taking just a handful of scalps.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, only to be brought back for the Boxing Day match in the playing XI.
Surrey's Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets in Australia's first innings, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman among just a trio of teammates who passed ten runs.
Post a single over at the end of day one, he returned on Saturday morning and had nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
Yet, towards the conclusion of that over, he bowled a slower ball to Travis Head and promptly felt for his hamstring.
The English bowler returned to the side for the Melbourne match having missed of the third.
