Very bad news for the LOU. The Lyon club will have to do without its French international Ethan Dumortier following the serious injury of the 23-year-old winger or center. Victim of a rupture of the internal ligament of the left ankle on Saturday in Parma in the Challenge Cup, the LOU winger will be absent for four months and he will therefore not return to the pitch in 2024. He will even have to wait until spring before returning in the competition following this serious injury against the Italian club on Saturday.
Dumortier will have surgery and will be absent for four months
Thus, the international winger will be operated on this week and his unavailability is estimated at four months. The Lyon staff may have it bad following this injury to the French international with 6 caps. Especially since the staff risks having a headache in February and March, given that the LOU will play very big with the receptions of La Rochelle and Toulon, and a trip to Castres. Except that for LOU, there will be problems in the squad given that Xavier Mignot will have left the club for the United States, where he will participate in Major League Rugby under the colors of Nola Gold, the club of the New Orleans. And the Italian international Monty Ioane as well as the Georgian international Davit Niniashvili should be selected respectively for the VI Nations Tournament and the B Tournament. Karim Ghezal, new manager of LOU, will only benefit from Vincent Rattez as a specific winger and his centers ( Radradra, Parisien, Regard) to play on a wing. The emergency repatriation of Arthur Mathiron, on loan to Nevers until June before returning to Lyon, is visibly in the pipeline now, according to Le Progrès.
To summarize
Very bad news for the LOU. The Lyon club will have to do without its French international Ethan Dumortier following the serious injury of the 23-year-old winger or center. Victim of a rupture of the internal ligament of the left ankle on Saturday in Parma in the Challenge Cup, the LOU winger will be absent for four months and will therefore not return to the pitch in 2024.
