Announced package for the November tests in November, due to its serious knee injury, Antoine Dupont should nevertheless join the Blues in Marcoussis next month.
Since Antoine Dupont was seriously injured in the knee last March, during the 6 nations tournament, the timing has never really evolved. It has always been discussed that the half-drive from the Stade Toulousain and the XV of France resumes the competition at the very end of the year. And for the Test-Maches series in November of the Blues from the outset, it was clear that it happened a little too early.
And yet, surprise! Olympic Midi Announcement at this weekend
that Antoine Dupont should be present in Marcoussis with the men of Fabien GarthiéNext month.
Will he find the grounds with the Blues? Yes, but not to play. While the XV of France will face South Africa and Fiji, the weekends of November 8 and 15, the Top 14 will be on break. Clubs like the Toulouse stadium will take advantage of it to give time to leave some players. Antoine Dupont would therefore have found himself a little alone, at a time when he should be able to participate in collective training.
What recovery for Antoine Dupont?
So that he can work with an extensive group, while continuing his work of rethletics, Antoine Dupont will therefore find the Blues and their staff. It was even the Toulouse stadium that had this idea, according to Midi Olympique, a proposal that pleased the tricolor frame.
This will allow Antoine Dupont to keep in touch with the Blues, in anticipation of the Six-Nations 2026 tournament, while best preparing his big return on the field, in match. From November 22 to January 31, Stade Toulousain will then play every weekend, in Top 14 or in Champions Cup. The return of the famous n ° 9 will be done in due time, during this period.
