According to our information, Professor Frédéric Lauwers took the decision to operate on the captain of the French XV who suffered a maxillo-zygomatic fracture on Thursday evening during the match against Namibia. Antoine Dupont will be operated on this Friday at Purpan hospital, in Toulouse, by this specialist in maxillofacial surgery.
This intervention does not necessarily compromise the chances of the captain of the XV of France to participate at the end of the World Cup. A (slim) hope of seeing him return for the possible semi-finals, or even the final, remains.
A decision will be made at the beginning of the week depending on the progress of the consolidation of the maxillary bone and the zygomatic bone, which constitute the skeleton of the orbit, the nasal cavity and the oral cavity.
