Paceman Atkinson Adds to the English team's Injury Problems.
'Serious blow' for the touring side as Atkinson leaves the field due to a hamstring issue.
The pace bowler added to England's injury problems upon exiting the ground on the second morning of the fourth Ashes Test in the Ashes series.
Atkinson pulled up with his left hamstring immediately following a delivery in his spell on Saturday.
The touring camp stated the 27-year-old reported "discomfort" and would spend time on the sidelines for further assessment "in the coming hours".
The series decider in this Ashes battle beginning on 4 January starts on Sunday, 4 January.
The English side has already lost key quicks one seamer due to knee trouble and Jofra Archer because of a side injury on the current trip.
A replacement bowler was brought into the squad as cover for Wood.
His form was underwhelming early in the series, taking just three wickets.
He was left out from the previous Test, before being recalled for the Boxing Day match in the playing XI.
The county bowler improved at the MCG, claiming a couple of wickets during the host's first knock, then making 28 as a batsman as one of just three England players to get into double digits.
After bowling one over late on the first day, he resumed on Saturday morning and dismissed the nightwatchman taken by the wicketkeeper.
Unfortunately, at the end of his spell, he bowled a change of pace to the batsman and promptly felt for his hamstring.
The English bowler returned to the side for the fourth Ashes Test having missed the Adelaide game.
