The third line of the XV of France Anthony Jelonch, victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee against Scotland in the Six Nations Tournament, was operated on March 6.
The 26-year-old, whose participation in the 2023 World Cup (September 8-October 28) seemed compromised by this serious injury, assures in the columns of L'Équipe
that
he will be ready in time for the World Cup.
“I will be ready to resume on
August 15
!”
, he says.
“The operation went well, I have no pain, the healing is good, the extension and flexion of my knee are normal
.
You will have to validate the steps one after the other.
It will be felt.
I will listen to the specialists, but also to my body.
Each time I get a green light, I will give my all to validate the next step
,” he explains.
And to add:
“Many players have been there.
I have already discussed it with Julien Marchand (affected by ligaments in 2019), Dorian Aldegheri (2019) or Antoine Dupont (2018).
They are all back on top
!
I trust.
I repeat, I will be ready on
August 15th.
It's in my head
!
