Newcastle hold their breath over Wilson
August 12 2008
Newcastle prop David Wilson could require surgery after being injured while on England Saxons duty this week.
Wilson strained his right pectoral muscle during a conditioning session at the Saxons training camp.
He underwent an MRI scan and will see a shoulder specialist on Friday to discuss possible surgery.
The 23-year-old player is among four props in a 32-man Saxons squad selected last month for the 2008/09 season.
And any long-term absence would be a major blow for the Guinness Premiership relegation favourites, who begin their league campaign against Sale Sharks on September 7.
