Paceman Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Worries.

'Major setback' for England as Atkinson leaves the field with a hamstring injury.

The pace bowler added to the injury concerns plaguing England upon exiting the ground during Saturday's play of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.

The pace bowler pulled up with his left hamstring immediately following a delivery that he bowled on Saturday.

The England team reported the 27-year-old felt some "soreness" and would spend time on the sidelines to undergo evaluation "during the day".

The concluding match of the tour in Sydney starts this coming Sunday.

The visitors have been without key quicks one seamer to a knee injury and another paceman because of a side injury during this series.

A replacement bowler was added to the party to provide backup.

Atkinson struggled early in the series, taking just three wickets.

He was omitted of the third Test, before being recalled for the Melbourne Test as Archer's replacement.

Surrey's Atkinson improved at the MCG, bagging two scalps during the host's first knock, then making 28 with the bat among just a trio of teammates to get into double digits.

Following a brief spell late on the first day, he resumed the next day and dismissed the nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.

Yet, on the final ball of that over, he delivered a variation to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed for his hamstring.
