a return date for Nicolas Depoortère? The response from the UBB center

The fall tour of the XV of France began on Saturday evening and a player who could clearly claim a place had to give up: Nicolas Depoortère. The Union Bordeaux-Bègles center recently suffered a facial fracture after a terrible blow to the head, which left him knocked out and required him to be taken out on a stretcher.

It remains to be seen when the young nugget will be able to return to the field. To this question, Nicolas Depoortère had a fairly evasive answer to give in the show “L’Intégrale Sport” on RMC. The recovery is gradual, everything is going in the right direction, but the player gives himself time and lets his staff manage it with the doctors.

Today it's better. I had surgery, I have a plaque in my face, a bit like other players in the Top 14. It's better (…) I didn't check a date. I will let the UBB medical staff manage my recovery little by little, but I hope as quickly as possible. It’s true that it was quite an impressive shock.
