Hard blow for LOU Rugby and its supporters. Théo Millet, the Lyon center, was injured during the match against Stade Français last Sunday.
It was in the 27th minute that the 26-year-old had to leave the pitch, visibly injured in the ankle. The diagnosis was made: fracture of the external malleolus.
A serious injury that requires surgery. This is scheduled for this Tuesday, according to information from the club. This operation marks the start of a long period of rehabilitation for Théo.
With this injury, the Lyon center will be sidelined for three months. An absence which promises to be penalizing for the LOU.
Managers and medical staff nevertheless remain confident about the player’s recovery process. Which won’t play until the new year.
It’s a hard blow for Millet after four starts in six games with his new club. He arrived this summer from Oyonnax with the desire to make his place in the elite of French rugby.
After six matches, and on the strength of the improved success at the expense of Stade Français, LOU occupies temporary fourth place in the Top 14. The Lyonnais have won as many matches as Rochelle and Toulouse. They will go to Perpignan next week before hosting Bayonne.
