Paceman Gus Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Fitness Problems.

'Significant concern' for England as Atkinson goes off with a hamstring injury.

The pace bowler further complicated the fitness woes of the England squad upon exiting the playing area early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test in the Ashes series.

The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his hamstring post-delivery in his spell during the morning session.

Team management stated the 27-year-old felt some "soreness" and was to take time away from the action in order to be assessed "over the next few hours".

The series decider of the series beginning on 4 January starts on Sunday, 4 January.

The visitors have been without fast bowlers Mark Wood to a knee injury and another paceman to a side strain during this series.

Matthew Fisher was added to the party as injury reinforcement.

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, taking two wickets with the ball, then making 28 with the bat among just a trio of teammates who passed ten runs.

Following a brief spell at the end of day one, he came back the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper.

Unfortunately, towards the conclusion of the fifth over, he delivered a slower ball to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed at his leg.

Gus Atkinson was brought back for the Melbourne match having missed the previous Test.
