Jonny Wilkinson has suffered a host of injury problems since the 2003 World Cup.
The 29-year-old was playing his fourth game since returning froma shoulder injury.
He appeared to have twisted his knee at a ruck before being carried off midway through the first half at Kingsholm.
England begin their autumn Test programme at Twickenham in less than six weeks.
The first game Wilkinson will miss is Newcastle's opening EDF Energy Cup clash at Welsh region the Dragons at Rodney Parade on Friday night.
Wilkinson was likely to contest the fly-half jersey with Leicester's Toby Flood against the Pacific Islands, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, the first Tests under new manager Martin Johnson.
If his latest injury proves serious and he is unavailable, it will focus even more attention on the speed of Danny Cipriani's comeback from a serious ankle injury.
