Paceman Atkinson Compounds the English team's Injury Concerns.
'Major setback' for the touring side as Atkinson is forced off with a hamstring injury.
The English seamer increased the fitness woes of the England squad when he left the field early on day two of the fourth Ashes Test against Australia.
The right-arm seamer pulled up with his left leg after the final ball in his spell on Saturday.
The England team indicated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and required time away from the action for further assessment "in the coming hours".
The final Test of the series in Sydney begins at the end of the week.
The visitors have previously lost fast bowlers one seamer with a knee problem and Jofra Archer because of a side injury on the current trip.
Matthew Fisher was called up as cover for Wood.
Atkinson struggled early in the series, managing only three wickets.
He was omitted from the previous Test, only to be brought back for the Melbourne Test as Archer's replacement.
The county bowler showed better form in Melbourne, bagging two scalps during the host's first knock, and scoring 28 runs while batting being one of only three England players to get into double digits.
After bowling one over in Australia's second innings, he resumed for the second day's play and had nightwatchman Scott Boland caught behind.
However, at the end of the fifth over, he bowled a change of pace to Travis Head and promptly felt at his leg.
Gus Atkinson returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test following his omission of the third.
