Paceman Gus Atkinson Compounds the English team's Fitness Concerns.
'Major setback' for the English camp as Atkinson leaves the field with a hamstring injury.
The pace bowler added to the injury concerns plaguing England upon exiting the ground during Saturday's play in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
Atkinson felt a problem in his left leg post-delivery that he bowled on Saturday.
Team management stated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and required time away from the action in order to be assessed "over the next few hours".
The concluding match of the tour in Sydney starts at the end of the week.
The English side has already lost fast bowlers Mark Wood to a knee injury and Jofra Archer because of a side injury on the current trip.
A replacement bowler was brought into the squad to provide backup.
Atkinson struggled during the first two matches, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was omitted of the third Test, then recalled for the Boxing Day match in the playing XI.
Surrey's Atkinson showed better form in Melbourne, taking two wickets in Australia's first innings, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman as one of just three teammates to reach double figures.
After bowling one over late on the first day, he came back on Saturday morning and dismissed the nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Yet, on the final ball of his spell, he delivered a variation to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed at his leg.
Gus Atkinson was recalled for the Boxing Day Test following his omission of the third.
