Hit in the knee against Perpignan last weekend, Jonathan Danty underwent surgery at the start of the week, according to L'Equipe, and will be absent for two months. The center of Stade Rochelais is therefore forfeited for the start of the VI Nations Tournament with the XV of France.
After Gaël Fickou, absent for at least six weeks, it is the turn of Jonathan Danty… The three-quarter center of La Rochelle should be absent from the field for two months, after being injured in one knee, against Perpignan on the weekend. last, during the thirteenth day of Top 14, which saw the Catalans win (21-13). The La Rochelle staff explained that the 32-year-old French international had “blocked his knee”. But, it could be something more serious since Jonathan Danty would have had meniscus surgery at the start of the week, according to L'Equipe. He would be away from the field for around eight weeks.
Ronan O'Gara, the coach of Stade Rochelais should therefore be deprived of his player for the Champions Cup as well as the highly anticipated Leinster. But that's not all, Danty will not be able to apply for the start of the VI Nations Tournament. One more test for the key day in Charente-Maritime but which is struggling to continue in Blue.
Absent with the Blues for the Six Nations
Complicated for Danty who has not worn the Blues jersey since his red card against Italy during the last VI Nations Tournament. Although called up during the first meeting of the November tour, he was sent back to the club by Galthié. He therefore did not play in any of the Blues' three test matches (against Japan, New Zealand and Argentina).
Like Fickou, he should miss at least the first two matches of the Blues. As a reminder, the French will enter the fray on January 31 against Wales. The two players could also miss the matches against the English and the Italians (February 8 and 23).
