Fast bowler Atkinson Exacerbates England's Fitness Concerns.
'Serious blow' for the English camp as Atkinson is forced off with a hamstring injury.
The English seamer increased the injury concerns plaguing England after leaving the field during Saturday's play of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.
The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his hamstring immediately following a delivery that he bowled on Saturday.
The touring camp indicated the 27-year-old had experienced "tightness" and would spend time away from the action to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".
The concluding match of the series beginning on 4 January begins at the end of the week.
England have previously lost fast bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and Jofra Archer to a side strain during this series.
A replacement bowler was brought into the squad as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time in the opening two Tests, claiming a mere a handful of scalps.
He was left out from the previous Test, before being recalled for the Boxing Day match as Archer's replacement.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, claiming a couple of wickets in Australia's first innings, and scoring 28 runs with the bat among just a trio of teammates to reach double figures.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he resumed for the second day's play and dismissed the nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper.
However, at the end of his spell, he sent down a change of pace to Travis Head and suddenly grabbed for his hamstring.
The English bowler was recalled for the Boxing Day Test after being left out the Adelaide game.
