Worcester not in the challenge cup next year?

With Saracens getting promoted it means that Worcester don't qualify for the challenge cup from what I read.
Would be the first time a English Premiership club misses out?
Not quite a relegation hit money wise but still.

Opportunity to have a smaller but higher quality squad, rest weekends and no silly travel to Siberia. It could be a plus.

Interesting what happens going forward, especially if they go to 14. One/two permanently out or a rejig as part of negotiations to letter the Saffers in?

I think I read that there’ll be 5 premiership teams in the challenge cup, so Worcester may still get their trip to Timisoara Saracens they always dreamed of
