France rugby team Oscar Jegou injury, Digi Mart USA News: Coach Fabien Galthié is facing an increasingly difficult selection puzzle. Already missing around twenty potential squad members for the next three Les Bleus matches, he has now learned that flanker Oscar Jegou will also be unavailable.
According to Rugbyrama, Jegou injured his rib area during training on Wednesday. He will not be able to play in the Nations Championship’s second window, at least not for Saturday’s match against Fiji at 9:10 p.m.
The length of his absence has not yet been disclosed.
Fourteen players have been released and returned to their clubs, and Jegou left with them. Esteban Capilla, initially named as a replacement, is expected to take his place in the starting lineup.
Galthié will announce the exact team that will face Fiji on Thursday at 10 a.m. French time.
After the Fiji match, France will face South Africa on November 13 at 9:10 p.m., followed a week later by Argentina at 9:10 p.m. on November 29, the third and final match of this autumn international window.
