Fast bowler Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for the English camp as Atkinson is forced off due to a hamstring issue.
The pace bowler further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the field on the second morning of the Boxing Day Test versus the Australians.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his left leg after the final ball in his spell on Saturday.
The touring camp stated the 27-year-old felt some "soreness" and required time on the sidelines to undergo evaluation "over the next few hours".
The series decider of the series at the SCG starts at the end of the week.
England have been without key quicks one seamer to a knee injury and another paceman because of a side injury on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was called up to provide backup.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was omitted for the Adelaide match, only to be brought back for the Boxing Day match as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler improved at the MCG, bagging two scalps in Australia's first innings, and scoring 28 runs as a batsman being one of only three England players to get into double digits.
Post a single over at the end of day one, he came back on Saturday morning and had nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper.
However, towards the conclusion of that over, he bowled a change of pace to the batsman and promptly felt his left hamstring.
The English bowler was recalled for the fourth Ashes Test having missed the Adelaide game.
