Replaced in the 56th minute of the match won against Bath (31-19) on Sunday in the Champions Cup, Toulouse international third row Anthony Jelonch “
felt his knee move
” announced his coach Ugo Mola in the post-match conference.
The French international (27 years old) left the field after remaining on the ground for a few minutes holding his right knee.
Replaced by Alban Placines, he then left the field without visible discomfort.
“
He felt his knee move.
We're going to wait for the exams.
We preferred not to take any risks.
I dare to hope that we don't go further than a somewhat innocuous feeling,
” confided Ugo Mola after the meeting.
In February 2023 Anthony Jelonch suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament in his left knee which kept him away from the field for six months.
The Gersois, however, had succeeded in returning in time to participate in the last World Cup with France.
The third row is one of the 34 French players summoned by the French staff to prepare for the start of the VI Nations Tournament.
The whole group will meet on Monday in Marcoussis.
In this last group match against Bath, which saw Stade Toulousain achieve a fourth improved victory in a row, center Dimitri Delibes (24) also left his partners due to injury.
His absence could be between “
between three and four months
” according to Mola.
On a defensive action in front of his line, Delibes suffered a violent shock to the shoulder shortly after the hour mark (62nd).
He left suffering, immediately replaced by Sofiane Guitoune “
Honestly the judgment seems incomprehensible when we see the action.
We +break+ his shoulder.
She is dislocated.
We will lose him for a long time,
” Mola regretted.
