Seriously injured in his left shoulder on Sunday evening during Pau’s victory against La Rochelle, Emilien Gailleton suffered a dislocation as expected. The French international center of the Section will be absent between two and four months. His teammate Jimi Maximin will be away from the field for one to three weeks.
The new victory at the Hameau stadium for these Palois still undefeated this season at home, Sunday evening against La Rochelle (53-33) left its mark on the Section side. And caused, unfortunately for Pau and his trainer Sébastien Piqueronies, a lot of damage. Starting with Emilien Gailleton (22 years old). The young center of the Béarnais club had indeed announced the color as soon as he left the field.
Seriously injured in the left shoulder during this match which turned into a demonstration for the Palois against the Rochelais quickly reduced to fourteen, the former Agen player knew that he was probably suffering from a dislocation and had arranged to meet in a long time at the microphone of Canal Plus to the supporters of his team as well as to his teammates.
In the process, this time on social networks, the French international (1 selection) was also very lucid about this injury that he had just contracted. “+5 pts and one shoulder less, see you in a few months…” posted Gailleton, who is indeed suffering from a dislocation and will have to be absent for several months, two in the best case scenario, four in the least optimistic prognosis. Everything will depend on whether the native of Croydon, England, has to go through the operation box or not.
Maximin also on the floor
The Toulouse runner-up not only suffered a hard blow on Sunday during his success against the Maritimes. Jimi Maximin (26 years old) was also injured. Unlike Gailleton, the young second row did not even start the match. It was in fact during the warm-up that the former Pau and Montpellier player was hit in the right eye in a shock which also caused a concussion.
Disappearing at the last moment from the match sheet, Maximin, who appeared 9 times since the start of the season (4 as a starter), could be absent for three weeks (only one in the most favorable case). During the fall tour of the XV of France, the Parisian celebrated his first selection with the Blues against Fiji.
