And the defeat may prove costly as Vunipola was forced off after falling awkwardly early on, while hooker Kapeli Pifeleti was stretchered off a few minutes later.
The England international, who has had more than his fair share of injuries, only returned a week ago after recovering from a minor knee ligament injury he suffered at the start of November.
Vunipola is set to have a scan on the injury today with the Sarries hierarchy hoping for the best but expecting the worst.
A Saracens club official revealed they will provide an update on their two injured players once they know more later today
