Lyon’s international third row, Dylan Cretin, suffers from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, the LOU announced on Friday, confirming information from Le Progrès. The 26-year-old was injured on a bad landing after a jump during training on Thursday and will undergo surgery soon. His season is over and he could have surgery quickly.

The Rhone staff must deal with other players also unavailable due to a knee injury such as fly-half Léo Berdeu, affected in the spring and currently in rehabilitation, and the scrum-half or fly-half, Jean-Marc Doussain.
