Ange Capuozzo will not participate in the final phase with the Stade Toulousain. The Italian international suffers from a fracture of the pearl of the left leg.
Bad news for the Toulouse stadium. Released on injury during the trip to Perpignan (defeat 42-35), Angel Capuozzo had left its partners on stretcher, grimacing. A serious injury was expected. Complaining to the right ankle, the verdict is ultimately more important. The winger suffers from a fracture of the peronea of the left leg and sees his season ending suddenly as RMC Sport evokes on Monday. In April, the Italian had already been injured in the European Cup against Sale. Touched with the right ankle, the final diagnosis had only been “simple sprain”. This time, Capuozzo will miss several months of competition.
Already absent in 2023
Last season, June 28, 2024 precisely, Ange Capuozzo was going to register the ninth test of the Toulouse stadium against the UBB in the Top 14 final (59-3). A lonely rush of more than 50 meters and a magnificent action concluded in the corner to win a second title of champion of France in a row, the 23rd in the history of the club. But all of this is ancient history, because this season, Toulouse will not be able to count on his twirling winger. As in 2023, Capuozzo will therefore miss the final phase of the championship. An additional blow for the player, but also for the club.
Repeated injuries
The end of the Toulouse stadium season is not the one Ugo Mola hoped. Not on the sporting level, but rather on the side of injuries. That of Capuozzo is one more to put the infirmary of the infirmary, already full. Antoine Dupont and Peato Mauvaka are already absent for knee injuries, just like Paul Costes, released in tears against Lyon during the penultimate day. The 22-year-old is uncertain and could also miss the final stages. As a reminder, Toulouse will face the winner of the match between Bayonne and Clermont, who will be played this Friday at Jean Dauger (9:05 p.m.).
