Seamer Atkinson Exacerbates England's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for the English camp after Atkinson goes off with a hamstring injury.
The pace bowler added to the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the ground early on day two of the Boxing Day Test in the Ashes series.
The right-arm seamer experienced discomfort in his left leg post-delivery that he bowled during the morning session.
The England team reported Atkinson felt some "soreness" and would spend time away from the action to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".
The series decider in this Ashes battle at the SCG starts this coming Sunday.
England have already lost key quicks one seamer due to knee trouble and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party as cover for Wood.
His form was underwhelming during the first two matches, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was omitted of the third Test, before being recalled for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, bagging two scalps during the host's first knock, then making 28 as a batsman among just a trio of England players to get into double digits.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he came back on Saturday morning and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
Yet, at the end of that over, he bowled a slower ball to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed his left hamstring.
Gus Atkinson returned to the side for the Boxing Day Test having missed of the third.
