Winger Théo Attissogbe, injured in a knee this Saturday during the victory against Japan (52-12), is out of the match next Saturday against New Zealand, unlike second row Thibaud Flament, announced the Federation French rugby team on Sunday evening.
Théo Attissogbe, who had replaced the ailing Damian Penaud at short notice, celebrated his third start against Japan before coming out injured at the end of the match. According to coach Fabien Galthié, the 19-year-old winger suffers from a “lateral (ligament, Editor’s note) sprain”. Thibaud Flament was released after just over half an hour of play, suffering from his iliac crest, but is present in the list of 42 players to prepare for the match against the All Blacks.
Racing 92 scrum half Nolann Le Garrec, who was out of France-Japan after suffering a knee injury, is back in the squad in place of Baptiste Serin who replaced him this week. Clermont pillar Régis Montagne and Racing second row Cameron Woki also return to Marcoussis. France faces New Zealand on Saturday at 9:10 p.m. at the Stade de France, then Argentina on November 22.
