Seriously injured on Sunday evening against Stade Français, Théo Millet suffered a fracture of the external malleolus. The three-quarter center of LOU will be operated on this Tuesday and he will then have to wait almost three months before returning to the field. A hard blow for the Lyon club.
Millet unavailable for a long time, and LOU disillusioned after his dream evening on Sunday against Stade Français. A card on the Gerland pitch against the capital’s players marked by the inevitable Baptiste Couilloud, author of a double by scoring his 18th and 19th tries of the year in 19 matches played in 2024, the first victory of the season accompanied by a bonus point (offensive in this case) and a superb fourth place at stake before trying next weekend to obtain against a team from Perpignan ridiculed on the lawn of Bordeaux-Bègles during his last outing to obtain his second victory of the season on the road after the success signed in Montpellier during the first day. Sunday evening was perfect for the LOU. At least in theory. Because that would have been to forget the misfortunes of one of the Lyonnais, Théo Millet, forced to abandon his teammates due to injury shortly before the half-hour mark against the Parisians.
Millet not back before 2025
And unfortunately the news is bad regarding the former Oyonnax player who landed in the Rhône this summer after seven years spent in the Oyomen jersey. The 27-year-old three-quarter center from LOU was seriously injured during this last match of the 6th day of Top 14 and the verdict is unfortunately that expected for the former Stade Français player, whose MRI confirmed the dreaded fracture. A fracture of the external malleolus which will force Millet to undergo surgery this Tuesday. The Toulouse native, replaced on Sunday against Stade Français by Australian Josiah Maraku after his injury, will then be unavailable for three months. Millet will therefore not play again before 2025, probably in mid-January. A big blow for the LOU, which loses a holder.
