Big scare for Paul Costes, the young three-quarter center at Stade Toulousain. Last week, during training with the XV of France, the Toulouse player injured his ankle. A premature exit, supported by two members of the staff, which foreshadowed the worst.
XV of France. New injury alert for a Stade Toulousain player before the All Blacks
At the time, it really didn't feel good for the Haut-Garonne center. For a young talent on the rise, the possibility of a serious injury came at the worst time. But after a few days of waiting and uncertainty, the news is finally reassuring.
No fracture, no ligament affected
This Monday, La Dépêche revealed that the examinations carried out by Costes did not detect any fracture or ligament damage. A huge relief for the player and for Toulouse, who can breathe easy.
Paul Costes should quickly return to the field. But there is no question of rushing his return: the medical staff is playing it safe. Ugo Mola should let him breathe a little longer, so that the player comes back in full possession of his means.
In the meantime, Costes will miss the match against Perpignan this weekend, during the 10th day of the Top 14. A regrettable absence, but the prospect of a rapid return to competition is much more important. In addition, Toulouse will need all its forces present for the European games at the beginning of December.
Stade Toulousain, already deprived of several executives mobilized with the Blues, will therefore have to temporarily do without one of its most promising hopes. We don’t want a “Jelonch-like” destiny with several relapsesit is better for him to recover 100% to avoid getting injured again.

Will Paul Costes be able to return the following week? To be continued, but the young center is already determined to get back into rhythm.
