Paceman Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Problems.
'Serious blow' for the English camp as Atkinson goes off with a hamstring injury.
Gus Atkinson increased England's injury problems when he left the field early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.
The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his left leg post-delivery of the fourth over on Saturday.
Team management stated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and was to take time away from the action to undergo evaluation "during the day".
The concluding match of the series at the SCG begins at the end of the week.
England have already lost strike bowlers Mark Wood with a knee problem and another paceman because of a side injury during this series.
A replacement bowler was called up as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, managing only three wickets.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, then recalled for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, taking two wickets with the ball, before adding 28 while batting among just a trio of teammates to reach double figures.
Following a brief spell at the end of day one, he returned the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper.
Unfortunately, towards the conclusion of the fifth over, he bowled a variation to the batsman and promptly felt his left hamstring.
The English bowler was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test following his omission the previous Test.
