JONNY MAY handed England an injury hammer-blow on the Twickenham pitch he was primed to rip up this autumn.
The Leicester Tigers winger lasted just seven minutes in their win over bitter rivals Northampton Saints, before trudging off with his arm in a makeshift sling.
Tests on the 37-capped star’s shoulder will reveal the full extent of the bang that has left Red Rose boss Eddie Jones sweating – just four weeks until South Africa come to town.
Tigers boss Geordan Murphy said: “I haven’t had a report from the physios just yet.
“It was a bit sore and he put his ice on it straight away and they said they would report. Sometimes you can just strap him up and play, sometimes they take a few weeks.
“I don’t have a complete report for you but it was a bang on the shoulder. It is not too severe, but it was sore. He was smiling in the changing-room but, I need to go speak to the medics.”

May, 28, has scored seven tries in his last seven Tests – including all three in the South Africa series this summer.
New attack coach Scott Wisemantel even said he could make the speedster the best winger on the planet with the World Cup less than a year away.
But at least Tigers have a ready-made replacement fresh off the academy production line as England under-20 Jordan Olowefela came on and scored after Ben Youngs’ impressive opener.
Ex-Tigers man Jamie Gibson had put the Saints ahead and Dave Ribbans and Mikey Haywood piled over as they attempted a comeback.
Wales fly-half Dan Biggar’s dodgy day from the tee held them back as he missed a hat-trick of conversions, though sparring partner George Ford showed him the way with 13 points from his boot.
And on a day that was all about Rob Horne, Saints’ inspirational Australia centre forced into retirement after suffering paralysis in his right arm last season, Saints couldn’t get over the line.
Boss Chris Boyd said: “It’s disappointing that we couldn’t get the victory that Rob deserved.
“The loss is painful, the fact that it is a local derby is painful and the fact that we wanted to respect Rob and couldn’t get across the line, is also painful. It is not a very happy changing room.
“Rob is a good man and we would have liked to have got the outcome – but the important thing for him is that we can help him with his journey going forward.”
Saints weren’t helped before kick-off, either, after Courtney Lawes pulled out after a late fitness test with a back spasm.
Boyd added: “Courtney woke up and had a back problem.
“We stayed at a place down the road in Teddington. I think it is a problem when the bed is 5ft 11 and he’s 6ft 11.
“He is pretty down on himself and feels he has left himself and the team down so is pretty grumpy at the moment.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
