While Anthony Jelonch was replaced very early this Sunday during Toulouse’s victory against Bath, his coach Ugo Mola told the press that the third row felt pain in his right knee.
This is undoubtedly what Fabien Galthié must have feared. While the players summoned to prepare for the entry into contention of the French XV in the 6 Nations Tournament are expected in Marcoussis next week, injuries could be feared during the last day of the group stage of the Champions Cup . And this is what seems to have happened to Anthony Jelonch this Sunday during Toulouse’s victory against Bath. Indeed, the third row was forced to leave the pitch at Stade Ernest-Wallon in the 55th minute, giving way to Julien Marchand after being hit in the right knee. At the end of the meeting, Ugo Mola confided that his player “felt his knee move” before confirming that he had taken precautions with a player who was absent for a long time last year due to a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee. “We preferred not to take any risks but we will wait for the exams,” declared the Toulouse technician. We dare to hope that it will not go further than a harmless sensation. » However, according to daily information The teamit would once again be a question of a cruciate ligament injury which will deprive him of the next 6 Nations Tournament and the entire end of the season with his club.
Delibes potentially out for a while
Anthony Jelonch is not the only Toulouse player to come out injured from this bitter duel against Bath. Indeed, at the hour mark, it was Dimitri Delibes who had to give way to Sofiane Guitoune after having suffered a limit clearance by Chris Cloete. Visibly injured in the left shoulder, the winger could be absent for several months according to Ugo Mola. “His shoulder is dislocated, that’s for sure. And we lost him for a long time, three or four months, confided the Stade Toulousain coach to the press. It’s a shame, he had passed a milestone that we had been waiting for for some time in recent weeks. » Beyond the injury of his player, it is the attitude of the referee which surprised the former three-quarter, ensuring that the decision not to take out a card against the Bath player is “a bit incomprehensible.” Also seen in physical difficulty at the end of the meeting, François Cros and Emmanuel Meafou should not miss the meeting with the XV of France, having received simple blows this Sunday.
