“He felt his knee twist. I dare to hope that it won’t go further than a harmless feeling. » In a post-match press conference, following the improved success of Stade Toulouse against Bath (31-19), Sunday in the Champions Cup, Rouge et Noir coach Ugo Mola was not super optimistic after the injury to his international third row Anthony Jelonch.
According to The Team And RMC Sport, the former Castres player would be affected by the cruciate ligaments of his right knee. A huge blow for Jelonch, who suffered a similar injury almost a year ago to his left knee, which almost prevented him from playing in the Rugby World Cup in France.
But the third row had made an express return and was able to compete in the World Cup. With this injury, Jelonch is expected to be out for several months. He is therefore forfeited for the VI Nations Tournament, which begins on February 2, and for the rest of the season.
