This is the black point of the perfect evening experienced against Grenoble with a derby won 26-22. Matthieu Vachon and Thomas Rozière came out prematurely from the field with elbow and knee injuries respectively.
After the examinations carried out at the start of the week, the verdicts fell. The third line suffers from a dislocation of the elbow, while the winger suffers from “a lot of cartilage and a meniscian crack”. Injuries that will move them away from the fields “for several weeks”, according to the Valence-Romans press release.

Two major elements
Two hard blows for Fabien Fortassin and his staff. Matthieu Vachon invoices 19 games, including 17 tenure for 1 trial this season and has become, over time, the number 1 option in the third line center station. Second best balloon scratch this season (9), it was a safe bet at its post, for its first full season in Pro D2.
On the side of Thomas Rozière, adaptation to its new environment was quickly. Versatile as a rear or winger, he played 19 games, including 18 as a holder for 5 tests marked. It will be necessary to do without them for the next matches in Oyonnax (Friday April 18) and against Nevers (April 25) at least.
