On the Beeb match report they've noted

Worcester lost replacement lock Michael Fatialofa with a suspected neck injury.

and comments from Solomons on the injury that

"It didn't look good to me. He's gone off to hospital with our doctor. A neck injury like that is a massive concern. I'm worried about it, but I haven't had any report from the hospital."


What I hadn't heard was the poor lad still can't actually feel his body, which is more than a concern at this point. Here's hoping there is some recovery yet to be realised, and whatever he gets as much support as possible.

Awful news. When I read that he’d picked up a ‘serious’ injury, I was thinking a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Not potentially life changing. Good luck Michael!

This sounds positive at least.

Yes. Hopefully the bruising/swelling was affecting his nerves and he regains movement.

Time for some good news:

That is brilliant- really cheered me up, thanks!

That is brilliant news - just when I really needed some.
Thank you

Yep, a great update. Here's hoping there's plenty of improvement to come
