VIDEO. Rugby: "All stages of rehabilitation are going well," reassures Antoine Dupont.
The Stade Toulousain scrum-half is forced to follow his club's matches from the stands after tearing the cruciate ligament in his right knee on March 8. No return date has yet been set.
Even with the same forfeit, there was no question of Antoine Dupont missing the Champions Cup semi-final between Union Bordeaux-Bègles and his club Toulouse on Sunday, May 4. The scrum-half, who suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee during the Six Nations Tournament on March 8, took the opportunity to give an update on his operation on France 2.
"I did the post-operation in Toulouse, where everything went well. All the steps are going well, I was able to take off the crutches and drive again," reassured Antoine Dupont. Well supported morally, while the injury was "hard to take" , the rugby star was recently reunited with his teammates. " I did the first four weeks in the clinic, in rehabilitation, and I returned to the club two weeks ago. It was important for me to be in contact with the group, it did me good, I needed that, to find my friends, the atmosphere of the locker room" , he says. And if an unavailability period of eight months has been mentioned , "it is too premature to talk about a resumption date, I still have a lot of steps to go through" , he assured.
