Released in the 18th minute against Bordeaux last Saturday, Kotaro Matsushima suffers from a small injury to the hamstrings. If the Clermont rear did not train on Tuesday, his injury would still be less important than expected. “Honestly his injury is not very serious, explains Franck Azéma. But I think that a short week of recovery will be too tight for Friday evening. We will make a point Thursday morning.” It is still unlikely that the Japanese international will be aligned against Lyon.
A game that Wesley Fofana will miss. Always in delicacy with a thigh (muscle alert), the center did not train this Tuesday morning. “It is still too fair. We do not want to take any risks because he is a boy who has had a lot of recurrences. It deserves care and gradual rehabilitation.”
Arthur Iturria returns to the race
Arthur Iturria is slowly recovering from a shoulder operation in early November. But Franck Azéma is optimistic. “It is progressing well. This intervention was carried out on a shoulder which had already been operated on. This is why the delays are a little longer. He was frustrated because he did not see any progress. But on the last three. weeks he’s smiling again. He was able to run outside again and regain his strength. It’s good to see him like that. “
In the returns department
Etienne Fourcade suffered a crutch against Castres in the last minutes. A meeting that he had not finished. He has recovered well since then and trained normally this week. Absent against UBB, Etienne Fourcade is ready for Friday night’s meeting. It is the same for Apisai Naqalevu. The three quarter center, hit in the knee against Racing (January 3), was still a bit tight for the previous meeting against Bordeaux. With an additional week of training, the Fijian will have found the rhythm to play against Lyon. Jacobus van Tonder has also fully recovered from a concussion.
Alexandre Lapandry “feels good” – The third wing line has been absent for many weeks following a new concussion received against Stade Français. In early January, the club announced a rest period of two more months. Things are taking their course, as Franck Azéma explained. “We are moving forward little by little. We respect his feelings. We will do additional exams in a few weeks. Alex passed this Monday. We were able to work a little. I found him very good. He has a smile, he feels well, he sleeps well, he regains mobility. These are rather encouraging things. After the exams (scanner, MRI) will validate if everything is secure. “
