The French international will therefore miss the fall tour, during which the Blues will face Japan (9/11), New Zealand (16/11) and Argentina (22/11). On October 12, medical examinations predicted a convalescence period of approximately four weeks. This Sunday, Romain Ntamack explained on Canal + that his injury is “progressing rather very well”, while relying on caution.
The 25-year-old flyhalf has not been selected for France for more than a year. The last time was in August 2023 against Scotland, when he suffered a ruptured cruciate knee ligament, forcing him to withdraw from the World Cup.
