England head coach Martin Johnson is due to name his squad on Wednesday, but Morgan is unlikely to be on that list after Gloucester coach Dean Ryan revealed his injury was "very serious". Gloucester also had Mike Tindall forced off with a dead leg to cast some doubt over his fitness for England.

"It is obviously very serious for Olly (Morgan). I think there is some tendon damage, but I don't know how long he will be out for," Ryan said.

A Tom May penalty 10 minutes from time earned victory for the struggling Falcons, although Gloucester did have their chance to equalise.

With five minutes remaining the visitors passed up a penalty to level the scores, a decision Ryan said he would not criticise on a blustery day at Kingston Park.

"I will support decisions," he said. "Those decisions are not right or wrong. We did so we have to live with it.

"It was always going to be a game that with 60mph winds out there was going to be very difficult."

"When a wind is that dominant you are going to sit on a 7-10. It was decided on a penalty to Newcastle and we have to take that on the chin and move on."
