Seamer Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Problems.
'Serious blow' for the touring side after Atkinson goes off due to a hamstring issue.
Gus Atkinson increased the injury concerns plaguing England upon exiting the playing area on the second morning in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
The pace bowler pulled up with his hamstring post-delivery of the fourth over at the MCG.
The touring camp stated the 27-year-old had experienced "tightness" and was to take time off the field to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".
The series decider of the tour in Sydney gets underway this coming Sunday.
England have previously lost fast bowlers Mark Wood to a knee injury and another paceman to a side strain on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was called up as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time early in the series, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was dropped for the Adelaide match, before being recalled for the Melbourne Test in the playing XI.
The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, bagging two scalps during the host's first knock, before adding 28 while batting being one of only three English batsmen who passed ten runs.
Following a brief spell in Australia's second innings, he resumed on Saturday morning and dismissed the nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper.
Yet, at the end of the fifth over, he bowled a slower ball to the batsman and suddenly grabbed his left hamstring.
The English bowler was brought back for the Boxing Day Test following his omission of the third.
