RICHARD Nias has been ruled out of Worcester Rugby Club's final game of the season at Rugby.
The openside flanker damaged a shoulder during Worcester's weekend 17-6 win over Birmingham & Solihull and will miss out on Saturday.
Neil Mason is expected to replace Nias in the pack while Tony Windo should shake off a knee problem.
Meanwhile, Worcester's director of rugby John Brain has admitted, with the ongoing uncertainty about next season at Sixways, that he could leave when his contract expires in June.
Coach Andy Keast has already hinted that he may go and Brain said: "There is so much uncertainty at the moment that nobody knows what will happen.
"We have been told to expect a decision on the RFU inquiry into Rotherham after Easter so we will wait and see what happens there.
"I will continue at the club while they pay me but after that, who knows? The chairman Cecil Duckworth has spoken to the players and coaches and outlined the situation at the club. But, really, it is a case of wait and see."
