Stade Toulousain: “A hoped-for return before the end of the year…” how is Cyril Baille, the Toulouse player injured since the Top 14 semi-final?

He was unable to participate in the last Top 14 final and has been watching the matches of his friends at Stade Toulousain on his sofa since June. Friday June 21, 2024 in Bordeaux, during the Top 14 semi-final, Cyril Baille seriously injured his ankle (ruptured ligaments) and would have to undergo surgery.

On Monday, he notably participated in the traditional warm-up ball tennis with the whole group as well as a tackling workshop. If he does not yet have the green light to fully resume with the group, particularly in the phases of play with contact, Cyril Baille finally sees the light.

Initially, his return was planned for the start of the first block of European matches (December 8 against Ulster). But the staff is now more cautious. We are rather aiming for a return to the lawns “before the end of the year”. Prudence is the mother of safety.
