Top 14. Against Toulouse, Racing wants to 'put the dots straight' after the derby

Ramos, Cros, Returning Merchant

Thomas Ramos, omnipresent during the fall tour with the XV of France, has reunited with his teammates. Despite three full matches in blue, the versatile full-back is already operational and could be aligned in Paris. François Cros, spared after his concussion against Japan, is also ready for this tripjust like Julien Marchand, who finished as a substitute during the tour.

For other internationals, the situation is more vague. Antoine Dupont, Peato Mauvaka, Thibaud Flament, Emmanuel Newet Alexandre Roumat were arranged at the start of the week. This is also the case for foreign internationals Juan Cruz Mallia (Argentina) and Blair Kinghorn (Scotland).

Decisions on their participation could be made in the coming days, but some will miss the meeting against Racing.

The returns of Brennan and Costes

The second row Joshua Brennan (fracture in the eye socket) and the three-quarter center Paul Costes (ankle), absent against Perpignan, returned to the group. Both apply for Saturday, reinforcing a Toulouse squad which records several absences: Richie Arnold (shoulder), Joel Merkler (back)and Cyril Baille (ankle). The latter could nevertheless resume soon.

Capuozzo available, Ahki sur le flanc

Ange Capuozzo, recovered from his concussion suffered with Italy, is also ready to play. On the other hand, Pita Ahki joined the infirmary after a small tear in his hamstrings against USAP. He will not be there on Saturday. Alban Placines (knee), Nepo Laulala (Achilles tendon) and Kalvin Gourgues also remain unavailable.

With these notable returns and significant absences, Ugo Mola will once again have to juggle his squad for this perilous trip against a vengeful Racing.
