Paceman Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Problems.
'Serious blow' for England after Atkinson leaves the field with a hamstring injury.
The pace bowler added to the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the ground on the second morning of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.
The pace bowler pulled up with his left hamstring after the final ball that he bowled at the MCG.
Team management reported Atkinson felt some "soreness" and required time off the field to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".
The final Test in this Ashes battle in Sydney starts this coming Sunday.
The visitors have previously lost fast bowlers Mark Wood to a knee injury and Jofra Archer to a side strain on this Ashes tour.
A replacement bowler was added to the party as cover for Wood.
His form was underwhelming early in the series, managing only three wickets.
He was left out from the previous Test, before being recalled for the Melbourne Test in the playing XI.
Surrey's Atkinson showed better form in Melbourne, claiming a couple of wickets with the ball, before adding 28 with the bat among just a trio of teammates to reach double figures.
Post a single over in Australia's second innings, he returned on Saturday morning and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
Yet, on the final ball of that over, he delivered a slower ball to Travis Head and promptly felt at his leg.
The English bowler was brought back for the fourth Ashes Test following his omission the previous Test.
