The melee half, present in Bordeaux for the semi-final of Champions Cup, gave reassuring news concerning his rehabilitation.
The first stages of the recovery of the scrum half of Toulouse and the XV of France Antoine Dupont “Go well” said the player on Sunday, almost two months after his serious knee injury.
“There was the operation, the post-op I made in Toulouse. Everything went well, even if it is the most tedious part, the most painful too. I had my friends, I had my family who came to see me. I have had a lot of support and for the moment, all the steps are going well (…) I have not had post-operative complications ” said the French captain at the microphone of France 2, a little before the semi-final of the Champions Cup between the Union Bordeaux-Bègles and Toulouse.
“There, I was able to remove the crutches, renew, so it progresses well for me”illustrated the Olympic medalist, explaining that he had returned for two weeks in contact with the Toulouse group.
“It did me good and to be able to accompany them, follow them in my own way. It’s always hard not to be on the ground ”he also recognized.
Asked about a return calendar on the field, he did not advance. “No, it’s far too premature to talk about recovery. Today, we know that it will surely revolve around eight months. But there will be a lot of things by then. ”
Antoine Dupont broke up a right knee ligament on the fourth day of the Six Nations Tournament against Ireland on March 8.
