huge blow, a star suffers from a lung infection, his club grimaces

As for the French XV, the fall tour will end tomorrow evening with the last match against Argentina at the Stade de France. After beating Japan and New Zealand, the French XV wants to end this autumn tour in style with a third success in three matches. But against the Pumas, the meeting will prove to be hot and we can't wait to follow it. Yesterday, Fabien Galthié revealed his team composition, notably making the strong choice to exclude Gregory Alldritt. For this last meeting, the coach was unable to count, once again, on Damian Penaud, who ultimately did not play any match on the tour. It turns out that the winger has already returned to Union Bordeaux-Bègles and rumors of tension between Galthié and the player had appeared. However, this is not the case because Sud Ouest reveals that Penaud is suffering… from a lung infection.

Penaud still absent for several weeks

The one who is one of the best try scorers in the history of the France team had contracted a virus in Marcoussis and he was unable to participate in any Blues matches during this autumn tour. But while rumors of tension had appeared between him and Galthié, it ultimately turns out that the UBB player is hit hard. The French international with 53 caps and 36 tries suffers from a lung infection and is expected to be absent for the next two weeks. This would bring his unavailability to six weeks, having withdrawn at the last minute against Japan and being sidelined against New Zealand. The UBB is therefore grimacing, while the Top 14 is about to resume.
