Long absence ahead for Charles Ollivon injured in right knee

Just a few moments after the final whistle of this Toulon – Racing 92, concern reigned in the Var locker room about the injury to Charles Ollivon's right knee suffered after barely 6 minutes of play. According to a source internally, we feared a big tile.

After an MRI taken this Monday, the diagnosis finally came: the 3rd row suffers from a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, an misfortune that he had already experienced in the other knee in June 2021.

Long absence and withdrawal from the Tournament

Charles Ollivon was not spared from injuries during his career, including recurring shoulder problems which almost pushed him to give up professional rugby before finally finding the light in Toulon. When he was injured in his left knee in 2021, the former Bayonnais took 9 months to return, from June 5 to March 12 of the following year.
