Seamer Atkinson Adds to England's Fitness Concerns.
'Major setback' for England as Atkinson is forced off with a hamstring injury.
Gus Atkinson added to England's injury problems after leaving the playing area during Saturday's play in the Melbourne Test in the Ashes series.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his hamstring immediately following a delivery in his spell during the morning session.
The England team reported Atkinson felt some "soreness" and would spend time off the field in order to be assessed "during the day".
The concluding match of the tour at the SCG begins this coming Sunday.
The English side has already lost fast bowlers one seamer due to knee trouble and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain on this Ashes tour.
A replacement bowler was brought into the squad as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time early in the series, managing only three wickets.
He was omitted for the Adelaide match, before being recalled for the fourth Test in the playing XI.
Surrey's Atkinson showed better form in Melbourne, taking two wickets in Australia's first innings, before adding 28 as a batsman among just a trio of teammates to reach double figures.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he returned for the second day's play and removed Scott Boland Scott Boland caught behind.
However, on the final ball of that over, he delivered a change of pace to the batsman and suddenly grabbed at his leg.
Gus Atkinson returned to the side for the Melbourne match having missed the previous Test.
