Like a bad dream that never stops dragging on. Pau will still be deprived of 17 players this Saturday at Mayol (4:30 p.m.), since three of them return to the infirmary while only two leave. Respectively victims of a quadriceps and pectoral injury, center Olivier Klemenczak and second line Jimi Maximin will observe two weeks of rest before considering applying for the first match of 2025 in Castres. The unavailability, however, will be between 6 and 8 weeks for Jolmes, who sprained his ankle during the European break.
17 injured
They join an always well-stocked infirmary which includes Théo Attissogbe (sprained knee), Thomas Carol, Mickaël Capelli (ruptured cruciate ligaments), Tom Franklin (calf injury), Clément Laporte, Hugo Parrou, Lucas Rey, Lekso Kaulashvili (shoulders), Paulo Pelesasa (elbow sprain and forearm fracture), Siate Tokolahi (Achilles tendon rupture), Luke Whitelock (Achilles tendon), while Beka Gorgadze (sprained ankle), Dan Robson (hamstring injury) and Harry Williams (calf injury) are in the recovery phase.
In the good news department, Tumua Manu applies, just like Romain Ruffenach. Both victims of a quadriceps contusion, the center and the hooker will be good for duty this Saturday.
