Last night, the management of the French XV released 20 players in order to continue preparations for the start of the Six Nations. Five released players returned to Union Bordeaux-Bègles but the Top 14 leader could well receive bad news concerning two of them. Because according to information from Sud Ouest, while Marko Gazzotti, Maxime Lamothe, Maxime Lucu, Matthieu Jalibert and Nicolas Depoortere are back from Marcoussis, two players would be uncertain for the match against Lyon in the Top 14 this weekend.
Two players affected at UBB after Marcoussis?
Thus, Maxime Lamothe could have been the victim of a calf muscle injury while Marko Gazzotti, who plays in the third row, would be affected in the gluteal muscle. The two Bordeaux players will have to take exams this Thursday to find out more. The Scottish second row, Jonny Gray, who also left for the selection, will also return this Thursday. The UBB staff will be able to take stock of his physical condition, after he returns to training. UBB did not tempt the devil before the match against LOU, preferring to retain its young second line, Jacques Nguimbous, called up with the France U20 team.
To summarize
Last night, the management of the French XV released 20 players in order to continue preparations for the start of the Six Nations. Five released players returned to Union Bordeaux-Bègles but the Top 14 leader could well receive bad news concerning two of them.
