The three-quarter center left his partners in the first period of the Champions Cup round of 16 between Stade Toulousain and Racing 92, Sunday afternoon at the Ernest-Wallon stadium. Raising concern from his manager, Ugo Mola, about the seriousness of the injury.
Guest of France Bleu Monday evening, defense coach Laurent Thuéry confirmed the nature of this. Pierre-Louis Barassi suffers from a “cartilage injury in the rib area”. He will be absent for “several weeks” and is therefore already out of the Champions Cup quarter-final against the English side Exeter next Sunday.
Laurent Thuéry also gave news of Thomas Ramos, injured in the iliac crest two weeks ago against the UBB. “We will wait until training resumes on Wednesday to see how he feels, and we will all decide together to take the best option for us.”
