Paceman Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Fitness Problems.
'Serious blow' for England as Atkinson goes off with a hamstring injury.
The English seamer further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England upon exiting the playing area on the second morning in the Melbourne Test against Australia.
Atkinson pulled up with his left hamstring after the final ball that he bowled on Saturday.
The touring camp indicated Atkinson felt some "soreness" and would spend time on the sidelines in order to be assessed "during the day".
The series decider of the series beginning on 4 January begins this coming Sunday.
The English side has previously lost key quicks Mark Wood with a knee problem and another paceman because of a side injury on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was called up as injury reinforcement.
His form was underwhelming early in the series, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was omitted of the third Test, only to be brought back for the fourth Test in the playing XI.
The county bowler performed better in the fourth Test, bagging two scalps during the host's first knock, before adding 28 as a batsman being one of only three English batsmen to get into double digits.
Following a brief spell at the end of day one, he resumed on Saturday morning and had nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Unfortunately, towards the conclusion of his spell, he delivered a change of pace to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed his left hamstring.
The English bowler was brought back for the Boxing Day Test having missed of the third.
