Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Exacerbates England's Injury Concerns.
'Serious blow' for England after Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.
The pace bowler further complicated England's injury problems when he left the field during Saturday's play in the Melbourne Test in the Ashes series.
The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his left hamstring post-delivery of the fourth over on Saturday.
Team management indicated the 27-year-old felt some "soreness" and would spend time away from the action in order to be assessed "over the next few hours".
The final Test of the tour in Sydney gets underway at the end of the week.
England have been without fast bowlers one seamer due to knee trouble and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain on the current trip.
A replacement bowler was brought into the squad as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, taking just a handful of scalps.
He was dropped for the Adelaide match, before being recalled for the Boxing Day match as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, taking two wickets in Australia's first innings, then making 28 while batting among just a trio of teammates to get into double digits.
Post a single over at the end of day one, he came back the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Unfortunately, on the final ball of the fifth over, he bowled a change of pace to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed his left hamstring.
Atkinson was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test following his omission the Adelaide game.
