Injured in his left hand this weekend during LOU’s heavy defeat in Toulon (54-21), Gabin Lorre (23 years old) suffers from a fracture of the 2nd and 3rd metacarpals. The young Lyon full-back will be absent between six and eight weeks.
Will LOU be able to count on Gabin Lorre again before the end of the year? Nothing is less certain after the injury of the young 23-year-old Lyon fullback, Saturday on the lawn of the Mayol stadium, where the Rhone residents had won the cup (54-21) against Toulon as part of the 9th day of Top 14.
Hit in the left hand during this meeting to be forgotten for this LOU which recorded a third defeat in a row, the former Béziers player who arrived in Lyon in the off-season underwent examinations at the beginning of the week which revealed a fracture of the 2nd and 3rd metacarpals, we learn. Progress.
As a result, Lorre, started on Saturday for the sixth time this season (for seven appearances since the start of the championship), will have to undergo surgery and wait between six and eight weeks – estimated duration of his unavailability – before being able to return to the pitches of the competition.
Lorre back for Boxing Day?
In the best case scenario, the former Biterrois who had not missed any match under the colors of ASBH in Pro D2 during the last two seasons could nevertheless find his team for the traditional Boxing Day at the end of the year and the start of the new one. To see if he will be restored in time and, above all, if this is the case, during which of these meetings appearing on the LOU calendar he will be able to make his return.
The Lyonnais, down to 12th position in the standings after this fifth defeat already this season for them, will host Toulouse on the weekend of December 20 and 21 before traveling to Castres at the end of the month (December 27 and 28) and starting 2026 with a new home match, against Pau (January 3 and 4). For this LOU which has not won since October 11 (44-19 against Perpignan), we must obviously hope that its starting fullback will be back on his feet as quickly as possible.
