Baille and Flament back, Cros and Jaminet by the end of the month
Stade Toulousain internationals Cyril Baille and Thibaud Flament, affected with the Blues in November, are applying for the trip to Munster this Sunday in the Champions Cup. For François Cros and Melvyn Jaminet, it will be necessary to wait until the end of the month.
It fits into the workforce of Stade Toulousain. We were worried about the prop Cyril Baille, injured in the adductors against South Africa on November 12, when he had been absent for weeks beforehand at the start of the season. It was not until his huge hematoma, which went from the bottom of the stomach to the top of the thigh, could be absorbed. This Monday, he was on the training ground with his teammates. And will be a candidate for the trip to Munster on Sunday for the start of the Champions Cup.
Another case of package since this tough match of the Blues in Marseille, that of Thibaud Flament. Victim of a concussion and released during the match, the second line had still not found the grounds, missing the meetings against Japan with the Blues, then those in Lyon and against Perpignan with his club. Again, he was back on Monday afternoon for the first session of the week. Two reinforcements of choice, therefore, for the Toulouse staff.
Cros and Jaminet back against Castres or Clermont?
Other convalescents and other internationals, François Cros and Melvyn Jaminet are not there yet. But their return could become clearer. The first is recovering from a fall to the knee and has just returned from a rehabilitation stay in Capbreton. He should see the end of the tunnel. Just like Melvyn Jaminet, injured in the ankle on October 15 and forfeited for the tour with the XV of France.
According to the management of the team, these two players could return to the pitch at the end of the month, after the European episode. Either against Castres on December 23, or more surely for the trip to Clermont on January 1. Good news for Toulouse, also viewed favorably by coach Fabien Galthié. Moreover, if Retiere and Brennan are new operational, Barassi will see the concussion referent this Tuesday to decide whether or not to return. Chocobares, Fouyssac and Mallia are not expected to make the trip to Limerick on Sunday.
