Fast bowler Atkinson Exacerbates the English team's Fitness Problems.
'Serious blow' for the touring side as Atkinson goes off suffering a hamstring problem.
The English seamer further complicated the injury concerns plaguing England when he left the ground on the second morning in the Melbourne Test in the Ashes series.
The pace bowler experienced discomfort in his left hamstring post-delivery that he bowled during the morning session.
The touring camp indicated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and would spend time on the sidelines to undergo evaluation "in the coming hours".
The concluding match in this Ashes battle beginning on 4 January starts at the end of the week.
England have been without fast bowlers one seamer to a knee injury and another paceman to a side strain during this series.
A replacement bowler was called up as cover for Wood.
His form was underwhelming early in the series, managing only a handful of scalps.
He was omitted from the previous Test, only to be brought back for the Boxing Day match to fill the void.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, taking two wickets in Australia's first innings, before adding 28 with the bat being one of only three English batsmen to get into double digits.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he returned on Saturday morning and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
However, at the end of that over, he delivered a slower ball to Travis Head and immediately felt for his hamstring.
The English bowler was recalled for the Melbourne match following his omission the previous Test.
