Paceman Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Serious blow' for the touring side as Atkinson goes off due to a hamstring issue.
The English seamer increased England's injury problems after leaving the field early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.
The right-arm seamer experienced discomfort in his left leg after the final ball of the fourth over on Saturday.
Team management reported Atkinson felt some "soreness" and would spend time on the sidelines for further assessment "over the next few hours".
The concluding match in this Ashes battle beginning on 4 January begins on Sunday, 4 January.
The English side has been without strike bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and Jofra Archer with an abdominal strain on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party as cover for Wood.
Atkinson struggled early in the series, managing only three wickets.
He was dropped from the previous Test, only to be brought back for the fourth Test to fill the void.
Atkinson showed better form in Melbourne, taking two wickets during the host's first knock, before adding 28 with the bat among just a trio of teammates to get into double digits.
Post a single over at the end of day one, he resumed on Saturday morning and dismissed the nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
However, on the final ball of that over, he bowled a slower ball to the batsman and immediately felt his left hamstring.
The English bowler returned to the side for the Melbourne match having missed the Adelaide game.
