Worcester lock Michael Fatialofa has been discharged from hospital less than six months after a serious spinal injury.
The 27-year-old has been in hospital since January 4 when he suffered a severe contusion of the spinal cord during a Gallagher Premiership match at Saracens.
He has spent the last four months in the Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital in Aylesbury and Warriors will support the next stage of his recovery.

"His rehabilitation at this stage will focus on improving his general muscular strength, co-ordination and mobility."
