Seamer Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Worries.

'Major setback' for the touring side after Atkinson leaves the field due to a hamstring issue.

Gus Atkinson added to the fitness woes of the England squad when he left the playing area on the second morning of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.

The right-arm seamer experienced discomfort in his hamstring immediately following a delivery of the fourth over during the morning session.

The England team reported Atkinson reported "discomfort" and was to take time on the sidelines for further assessment "over the next few hours".

The series decider in this Ashes battle at the SCG starts at the end of the week.

England have previously lost strike bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and another paceman to a side strain on this Ashes tour.

A replacement bowler was added to the party as cover for Wood.

Atkinson struggled in the opening two Tests, taking just a handful of scalps.

He was omitted for the Adelaide match, then recalled for the Boxing Day match as Archer's replacement.

The county bowler improved at the MCG, taking two wickets in Australia's first innings, before adding 28 while batting being one of only three English batsmen who passed ten runs.

Following a brief spell late on the first day, he resumed for the second day's play and removed Scott Boland edging to the keeper.

Yet, towards the conclusion of the fifth over, he bowled a slower ball to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed for his hamstring.

Gus Atkinson was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test having missed the previous Test.
