Seamer Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Serious blow' for the touring side as Atkinson is forced off with a hamstring injury.
The pace bowler increased the fitness woes of the England squad when he left the field on the second morning of the Boxing Day Test in the Ashes series.
Atkinson felt a problem in his hamstring post-delivery in his spell on Saturday.
The England team indicated the 27-year-old had experienced "tightness" and required time away from the action for further assessment "over the next few hours".
The concluding match in this Ashes battle at the SCG gets underway at the end of the week.
The visitors have previously lost key quicks Mark Wood with a knee problem and Jofra Archer because of a side injury on this Ashes tour.
A replacement bowler was called up to provide backup.
Atkinson struggled in the opening two Tests, managing only three wickets.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, only to be brought back for the Melbourne Test in the playing XI.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, bagging two scalps with the ball, before adding 28 as a batsman among just a trio of teammates to reach double figures.
Following a brief spell late on the first day, he came back the next day and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
However, towards the conclusion of his spell, he delivered a slower ball to Travis Head and immediately felt at his leg.
Atkinson was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test following his omission of the third.
