Deprived of Romain Ntamack for the next three or four weeks, Stade Toulouse will find its flanker Jack Willis. Even though he was placed on vacation, Thomas Ramos only suffered a blow to his hand.
This Monday afternoon, barely two days after their victory against Clermont, the Toulouse residents returned to training. Without Romain Ntamack obviouslyreleased due to injury on Saturday evening. As indicated on Sunday, the international fly-half suffers from a tear in his right calf, which should keep him away from the field for three to four weeks. If he has a very good chance of being out of the first match of the November tour against Japan, the player must take a check-up after two weeks to find out more about his return date. In office, he remains hopeful of applying against New Zealand on November 16.
Furthermore, the news is very reassuring regarding Thomas Ramos. Also released at the end of the match, hit in the hand, he only suffered one blow. As a precautionary measure, the Toulouse staff still preferred to place him on vacation this week. He should not be traveling to Pau on Saturday. Unlike Jack Willis, absent in the last three games due to a thigh injury. He is now fully recovered and training normally. He will therefore potentially be present at the Hamlet.
Épée and Barassi still absent
For their part, Alban Placines (knee) and Mathis Castro-Ferreira (sinus) are in adapted recovery and should return to the group in the coming weeks. Ditto for Nelson Epée (hamstrings) and Pierre-Louis Barassi (calf), who could return next Monday, depending on their progress. If Blair Kinghorn is not at Ernest-Wallon at the start of the week, it’s just because he is taking part in the EPCR’s “media day” this Tuesday, for the launch of the Champions Cup.
Cyril Baille (ankle), Nepo Laulala (Achilles tendon) and Santiago Chocobares (knee) are still unavailable.
