Paceman Atkinson Compounds the English team's Injury Problems.
'Significant concern' for the English camp after Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.
The English seamer further complicated England's injury problems when he left the playing area during Saturday's play in the Melbourne Test in the Ashes series.
Atkinson felt a problem in his left hamstring after the final ball that he bowled during the morning session.
Team management stated Atkinson reported "discomfort" and required time off the field in order to be assessed "during the day".
The final Test of the tour in Sydney gets underway this coming Sunday.
England have been without key quicks one seamer with a knee problem and another paceman with an abdominal strain on this Ashes tour.
Matthew Fisher was added to the party as injury reinforcement.
Atkinson struggled in the opening two Tests, taking just three wickets.
He was omitted of the third Test, only to be brought back for the Boxing Day match as Archer's replacement.
Surrey's Atkinson showed better form in Melbourne, claiming a couple of wickets during the host's first knock, then making 28 while batting being one of only three English batsmen to get into double digits.
After bowling one over in Australia's second innings, he came back for the second day's play and dismissed the nightwatchman edging to the keeper.
Yet, towards the conclusion of that over, he bowled a change of pace to Travis Head and promptly felt for his hamstring.
The English bowler was recalled for the Melbourne match after being left out of the third.
