A setback for Gabin Villière, certainly one of the best players in the France team at the start of the VI Nations tournament.
Author of a hat-trick against Italy (bringing his total to 6 tries in the France team) in the first match (37-10), he achieved a new big performance, especially defensive, against the Irish (30-24) on Saturday .
But she left traces.
Wounded in the face, his condition raised some concerns.
The verdict fell after the exams passed on Monday.
The Toulon and Les Bleus winger (26) has a sinus fracture and will be out for two to three weeks.
Matthis Lebel or Donovan Taofifenua to replace him?
He will therefore miss the match in Scotland on February 26 (3:15 p.m., in Edinburgh), for the third day of the Six Nations Tournament.
But he is expected to return to Wales on March 11.
The staff will have to find a replacement for him for the trip to Scotland in two weeks.
Matthis Lebel (Toulouse) and Donovan Taofifenua (Racing 92), present in the enlarged group but never aligned in the 23 hold the rope.
Teddy Thomas (Racing 92) injured during training with the France team will still be too fair.
The players of the France team are resting this week and will meet on Sunday in Marcoussis to prepare for the match in Scotland.
