If there is concern around Julien Marchand, good news was however announced by Laurent Labit this Saturday. Forfeited for the opening match, Jonathan Danty will make his return against Uruguay, for the second match of the French XV, Thursday evening in Lille against Uruguay.
The coach of the French attack confirmed that the inaugural withdrawal from the La Rochelle center was dictated by caution after a minor hamstring injury. “We could have made him play, but it was a risk. Jonathan trained almost normally over the weekend and should return to the field in Lille.
Other good news could also come. Victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee at the end of February, during the Six Nations Tournament, Anthony Jelonch (27 years old, 25 caps) had achieved the feat of being restored in time to join the group of 33.
Seven months later, the Toulouse third-row could make his comeback against Uruguay. “Anthony is coming back well. We will ask ourselves the question on Monday to know if we put him on the match sheet on Thursday in Lille,” envisages Laurent Labit.
