Garvey signed a new two-year deal in the spring of 2008.

Worcester Warriors will be without five key players for Saturday's European Challenge Cup encounter with Madrid.

Wing Marcel Garvey (hand) and centre Dale Rasmussen (knee) are out for at least three weeks following a bruising encounter with Montpellier.

Prop Matt Mullan is set for a lengthy lay-off, after injuring his hamstring.

Lock Graham Kitchener is out with a right shoulder injury, while Shaun Ruwers (toe) is set to see a consultant this week to be fully assessed.

However, utility back Calum MacRae could return for the trip to Spain (Saturday 17 October, kick-off 1630 BST).

MacRae joined Warriors on a one-year deal from Edinburgh in the summer but broke his thumb against Ulster in a friendly in August.

There will be coverage of Worcester Warriors game against Olympus Madrid on Saturday 17 October in Sport on Saturday on BBC Hereford and Worcester.
