Vickery is to undergo a scan after limping off with a knee injury during the 29-19 victory over play-off rivals Sale Sharks at Adams Park.

The Wasps prop has not damaged the anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) but his season - and possibly this summer's England tour to New Zealand - remains in doubt after his right leg was twisted awkwardly in a ruck.

Vickery was strapped up and tried to continue but, after two scrums, he limped off. He emerged from the changing room midway through the second-half on crutches and his knee packed with ice.

Wasps rugby director Ian McGeechan said: "It is not his ACL. He got his leg twisted but, until he gets it scanned, nobody knows what damage he has done."

A seventh successive league win, underpinned by 19 points from Danny Cipriani, took Wasps into the top four.

"The players have worked really hard and we are really proud of them. That last defensive play, when Sale went back 30 yards with the ball, showed the attitude," McGeechan added.

"You don't get much spirit like that to the pound.

"I don't think people have noticed it, but since we got all our players back from the World Cup, we have been consistent right through. We have only lost one Premiership game since October."
