Fast bowler Gus Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Worries.
'Serious blow' for England as Atkinson is forced off due to a hamstring issue.
The English seamer further complicated England's injury problems after leaving the field during Saturday's play of the Boxing Day Test in the Ashes series.
Atkinson experienced discomfort in his hamstring after the final ball in his spell on Saturday.
The touring camp stated the 27-year-old felt some "soreness" and would spend time off the field for further assessment "over the next few hours".
The final Test in this Ashes battle in Sydney gets underway at the end of the week.
England have previously lost fast bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and another paceman with an abdominal strain on this Ashes tour.
A replacement bowler was added to the party as cover for Wood.
The seamer had a tough time during the first two matches, taking just three wickets.
He was dropped of the third Test, before being recalled for the Boxing Day match in the playing XI.
Atkinson performed better in the fourth Test, taking two wickets with the ball, before adding 28 as a batsman as one of just three teammates to get into double digits.
After bowling one over at the end of day one, he came back for the second day's play and removed Scott Boland taken by the wicketkeeper.
However, at the end of his spell, he delivered a change of pace to the batsman and promptly felt at his leg.
Atkinson returned to the side for the Boxing Day Test having missed the Adelaide game.
