Zapping World Fifteen Grand Slam, competition with Léo Coly, Mondial 2023…
On 4 December we learned that Union Bordeaux-Bègles scrum-half Yann Lesgourgues had been the victim of a scooter accident. The latest information indicated that the player was suffering from a broken jaw.
Midi Olympique specifies this Friday that Yann Lesgourgues is also suffering from fractures in an upper limb. And the duration of his unavailability is now known and this is not at all good news for UBB given that we are talking about three months.
This comes at a very bad time as Maxime Lucu has a week’s holiday to take, and is also expected to be called up with France’s XV for the 6 Nations tournament, which would leave only Jules Gimbert of the number 9 valid in Bordeaux. Midi Olympique specifies that the club has started looking for a medical joker.
to summarise
Yann Legourgues, victim of a scooter accident, will be absent for a while, which greatly complicates UBB’s business. Indeed, with Maxime Lucu’s potential call up for the 6 Nations, UBB would only have a valid number 9.
