Antoine Dupont to Attend France’s November Camp, Not Selected for Autumn Tests

Coaches opted for his measured involvement to protect a targeted return to competition at the end of November or early December.

Overview

  • Seven months after rupturing his right ACL, Dupont has resumed on‑field work at Toulouse with a focus on individual drills after completing re‑athletization.
  • During Tuesday’s session he took part in a tennis‑ball warm‑up with teammates before training separately from the main group.
  • Head coach Fabien Galthié said Dupont will train within the national group as the "42 + one" at Marcoussis in November with participation kept cautious.
  • Dupont will not be selected for the autumn tour fixtures against South Africa, Fiji and Australia.
  • The arrangement for his presence at camp was coordinated with club managers to align workloads during rest weeks.
