Journalist

Passionate about football since a young age, becoming a sports journalist quickly became obvious to Hugo. He would later discover a love for the NBA, before exploring other horizons such as Formula 1 and the NFL.

While RC hosts PSG this Sunday evening in the 32nd final of the Coupe de , Jimmy Cabot will not be present for this meeting. At only 30 years old, he announced Thursday that he was ending his career. A decision that came following a rupture of the cruciate ligaments, which led to serious complications for his knee.

As has been the case for more than two years, Jimmy Cabot will not be in the group RC Lens who receives the PSG this Sunday evening, in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France. Victim of a cruciate ligament rupture in October 2022, the 30-year-old player has not played again since and announced last Thursday that he was ending his career.

“I have swelling that is incessant”

« The basic injury is the cruciate ligaments so as I haven't been seen since, that's obviously what stands out today, but it's mainly the complications that I had behind that lead to this end of my career. . You should know that at 20 years old I had already had meniscus surgery, so I already had exposure to shocks on the bone, the cartilage, which was already quite significant during my career. », explained Jimmy Cabot in the show Stephen Brunch on RMC. « A few months after cruciate ligament rehabilitation I had algodystrophy. A sort of post-traumatic reaction to the operation which really complicates the basic crusaders. After that, I really deteriorated my cartilage and today it's as if I had very severe osteoarthritis. I have swelling that is incessant. Strapped I can do a session and be quite efficient, but with the load and the accumulation over two or three training sessions, it's impossible because my knee swells and it doesn't stop. »

“Each time over time it was really unmanageable”

Pains that Jimmy Cabot feels even at rest: “ Exactly. I'm sitting for two hours, I'm going to get up, it's going to be complicated. If I walk long days it's complicated. Beyond football, and it is in this sense that I made this decision, even in daily and personal life, even if I have worked a lot. » Chaining training sessions had become impossible for the player RC Lens. « I had reasons for hope too, that's why it lasted quite a bit. I also found it difficult sometimes to communicate this to everyone. I managed to rejoin a group at the end of last season with Franck Haise, lasting two or three weeks. But from the prep, after two or three friendly matches, each time over time it was really unmanageable. I saw different surgeons, who saw many knees in critical situations, who were not favorable to the condition of my knee », added Jimmy Cabot.
