These are unpleasant images, attitudes that the player has unfortunately experienced too often since the start of his career. <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/european-cup-without-antoine-dupont-toulouse-loses-against-wasps/" title="European Cup: without Antoine Dupont, Toulouse loses against Wasps”>Romain Ntamack came off in the 39th minute of the match between Toulouse and Clermont on Sunday evening. He injured himself, dropping down to ease the pain before putting his head in his hands. He recovered after an initial diagnosis but he had already suspected the seriousness of the illness.

Absent for the tests?
In Canal + images revealed at half-time, we see him showing his right calf to his teammates who came to check on him. It was then his father Émile who came to comfort him, while crutches awaited him next to his locker. According to initial information from Canal+, he is suffering from a major tear in his calf, which should keep him away from the field for several weeks and call into question his participation in the November tests with the French XV, against Japan (on the 9th). , New Zealand (16th) and Argentina (22nd).
Romain Ntamack has had problems since the start of his career. His most terrible injury occurred just before the 2023 World Cup, during a warm-up match against Scotland. Victim of a ruptured ligament in his left knee, he had to withdraw.
Back on the pitch last March, he fully participated in Toulouse’s European Cup triumphs and then in the Top 14 final.
