Gloucester head coach George Skivington is concerned over an injury which England flyer Jonny May sustained in Friday’s Premiership triumph against London Irish.
May was forced off in the 27th minute of Friday’s clash at Gtech Community Stadium with a suspected dislocated elbow and the injury is the latest setback for the 32-year-old, who had lengthy stints on the sidelines with a knee problem and Covid-19.
Fearing the worst
“It didn’t look good. He walked off with a splint on his arm. It’s not ideal if he’s got another bang having been back for two games,” Skivington said.
Gloucester sealed their win courtesy of a monster drop-goal from Adam Hastings in the 62nd minute which saw the Cherry and Whites take the lead for the first time.
It was a remarkable effort with his kick launched from inside his own half.
“Adam described it as hanging in his interview but I thought it looked pretty good. He’s brilliant,” Skivington said.
“His boot has been really good for us at the start of the season. He’s worked really hard. It was an ugly game.
“Our discipline towards the end was brilliant. We had to address a few things at half-time and we did well against a very tough team to beat.”
There was more bad news for England as Henry Arundell limped off with taping on his right ankle after a collision with London Irish team-mate Ben Loader.

The teenage wing will now be assessed to see if he can join up with Eddie Jones’ squad for next week’s training camp in Jersey.
“Henry’s sprained the outside of his ankle so he needs to stay off his feet today (Friday) and tomorrow at least,” director of rugby Declan Kidney said.
England to decide on rehab
“It will be England’s call whether they want to rehab him. Our medics will talk to the England medics, they’ll assess what it’s like and what the turnaround is.
“Eddie will probably make the call over whether it’s worth bringing him in or not.”
