Fast bowler Atkinson Adds to the English team's Fitness Worries.
'Significant concern' for the touring side as Atkinson leaves the field suffering a hamstring problem.
Gus Atkinson added to the injury concerns plaguing England upon exiting the ground during Saturday's play in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his left leg immediately following a delivery that he bowled during the morning session.
The England team stated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and was to take time away from the action to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".
The final Test in this Ashes battle beginning on 4 January begins this coming Sunday.
England have been without strike bowlers one seamer to a knee injury and another paceman because of a side injury on the current trip.
A replacement bowler was called up as cover for Wood.
Atkinson struggled early in the series, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, only to be brought back for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement.
Surrey's Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, bagging two scalps with the ball, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman among just a trio of teammates to get into double digits.
Post a single over late on the first day, he resumed the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
Yet, on the final ball of his spell, he sent down a change of pace to the batsman and immediately felt his left hamstring.
Gus Atkinson was brought back for the Melbourne match following his omission of the third.
