Zapping Fifteen World 6 Nations Calendar 2024
We learned some bad news from Union Bordeaux-Bègles on Thursday. The first is that, due to a thigh injury, Matthieu Jalibert should miss the next three days of Top 14 (his return is hoped for the next Champions Cup match, the weekend of January 11). Jonny Gray, for his part, is expected to be out for at least two months with an ankle injury.
Injuries for some, compulsory vacations for others
Here are two new players who enter the infirmary, and who add a little more to an already a little too full list of injured players: Mathis Perchaud (dislocated shoulder), Pierre Bochaton (who will have to have back surgery as indicated Sud Ouest), Sipili Falatea (major knee injury), or even the neo-Blue Romain Buros (on the comeback but still too tight for this weekend). Fortunately, to compensate for these absences, Jean-Baptiste Poux also indicates that a few days will be available again. “It’s up to us to find the best balance to remain efficient every weekend”adds the coach.
These injuries are not the only problem for Yannick Bru and his staff since there is also the rest of the French internationals to manage. And this weekend, for the trip to Castres, three Blues are affected by this week of vacation: Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Maxime Lucu and Marko Gazzotti.
To summarize
Union Bordeaux-Bègles is preparing a trip to Castres but in terms of the team to field, YannickBry must face several problems. First of all, there are several injured, but also Blues who must be put on forced rest.
