Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Significant concern' for England as Atkinson is forced off due to a hamstring issue.
The English seamer further complicated the fitness woes of the England squad when he left the ground early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test versus the Australians.
The pace bowler felt a problem in his left hamstring immediately following a delivery in his spell during the morning session.
The touring camp reported the 27-year-old felt some "soreness" and was to take time on the sidelines for further assessment "during the day".
The series decider of the series beginning on 4 January starts at the end of the week.
The English side has previously lost fast bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and Jofra Archer to a side strain on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was brought into the squad as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time early in the series, taking just three wickets.
He was left out for the Adelaide match, before being recalled for the fourth Test in the playing XI.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, taking two wickets with the ball, and scoring 28 runs with the bat among just a trio of teammates to get into double digits.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he returned for the second day's play and dismissed the nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
Unfortunately, at the end of the fifth over, he bowled a variation to the batsman and suddenly grabbed for his hamstring.
Gus Atkinson was brought back for the Melbourne match after being left out the previous Test.
