Paceman Atkinson Compounds England's Injury Problems.
'Significant concern' for the touring side as Atkinson leaves the field due to a hamstring issue.
The English seamer increased England's injury problems when he left the field on the second morning in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
The right-arm seamer felt a problem in his left leg after the final ball in his spell at the MCG.
The England team stated Atkinson had experienced "tightness" and required time away from the action to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".
The final Test of the tour beginning on 4 January begins at the end of the week.
The English side has been without fast bowlers Mark Wood with a knee problem and another paceman with an abdominal strain on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time during the first two matches, taking just a handful of scalps.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, before being recalled for the fourth Test as Archer's replacement.
Atkinson showed better form in Melbourne, taking two wickets during the host's first knock, and scoring 28 runs while batting among just a trio of English batsmen to get into double digits.
Following a brief spell in Australia's second innings, he returned for the second day's play and removed Scott Boland Scott Boland caught behind.
However, towards the conclusion of that over, he sent down a change of pace to the batsman and suddenly grabbed for his hamstring.
Gus Atkinson returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test having missed the Adelaide game.
