Dupont validated its concussion protocol
Joined the group this weekend ten days following having undergone surgery for a maxillo-zygomatic fracture, Antoine Dupont passed the objectives set on Sunday and Monday concerning the lifting and running exercises without any worries. The captain of the Blues also validated his concussion protocol via a neurological examination ordered by Doctor Philippe Turblin. “This will not be a hindrance for the practice of rugby,” assures Bruno Boussagol.

From now on, the next step for the scrum-half’s potential return to competition will be Monday, with a final check-up with his surgeon in Toulouse, Professor Lauwers. “We will wait for his opinion to see what development we can imagine with Antoine over the following week if we qualify,” specifies the health manager of the Blues. He will stay with the group until Friday’s match.
Package merchant for Italy…
As announced, Julien Marchand will not be on the scoresheet once morest the Transalpins. Affected in the left hamstring during the opening match once morest New Zealand, the hooker is not yet at 100% of his abilities and the staff preferred to postpone his recovery. “We took advantage of the two days to increase intensity and to try to introduce the concept of rugby. We had a goal that we didn’t achieve because he’s having difficulty completing tasks today. We know that these are delicate lesions to treat and which can recur, so we do not want to find ourselves in this situation. We are going to be in the same process next week,” said one of the physiotherapists of the French XV.
…while Aldegheri postulates
Spared on Monday, Dorian Aldegheri should be in the group to face the Italians. The right pillar of Toulouse felt discomfort in his quadriceps during the first part of training on Sunday, but medical imaging subsequently showed that everything was normal. “We are entering the last phase of the competition so we are very attentive to these little signs. We preferred to take him out of training,” explains Boussagol. So he just trained physically according to the preparation program and everything went well. He will resume collective training on Wednesday in Lyon and is applying for the Italy match.
