Worcester Warriors have confirmed that Michael Fatialofa will continue to remain in hospital for second night after his latest neck injury.

Fatialofa suffered the injury in the 51st minute during the game against Saracens at Allianz Park and was stretchered off the field after he was hurt while taking the ball into contact.

"Michael Fatialofa will spend a second night in St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, where his condition continues to be assessed," read a Worcester statement on Sunday.

"We will provide a further update on Michael's condition when we have one.

"On behalf of Michael we would like to thank all those who have passed on messages of support and concern."

The 27-year-old joined Worcester Warriors in 2018 from Hurricanes and has featured in 18 Premiership games since then.
