Australian full-back Chris Latham was admitted to hospital after temporarily losing the feeling in his arms and legs after being injured in a maul in Worcester's 37-20 Guinness Premiership defeat to Sale.
Director of rugby Mike Ruddock said: "Chris Latham is down the hospital at present. He is to undergo scans, because it appears to be a neck ligament problem.
"For a period of time, Latham lost feeling in his arms and legs - but it has returned. He is conscious, and the medical team are reasonably confident he will be OK."
The Warriors were 7-3 in front when Latham was carried off in the 16th minute, but capitulated after their talismanic Aussie was forced off.
"It was a great start by us, and we were looking good. But once we lost Latham, they pinned us back and realised we would struggle with our kicking game,” Ruddock continued.
"Our kicking game did let us down, and we 'gifted' them two tries from a couple of moments of madness."
