Romain Ntamack's Calf Injury Sidelines Him for November Tests

The French rugby star will miss the start of the November series due to a calf tear, but may return for later matches.

  • Ntamack suffered a calf tear during the match between Stade Toulousain and Clermont, forcing him off the field before halftime.
  • The injury will keep him out of action for three to four weeks, ruling him out of the test match against Japan on November 9.
  • Despite initial fears, the injury is not as severe as a ruptured Achilles tendon, which was ruled out after an MRI scan.
  • This marks another setback for Ntamack, who returned from a serious knee injury earlier this year.
  • The French national team coach, Fabien Galthié, will soon announce the squad for the November series, with hopes Ntamack can play against New Zealand and Argentina.
