A blow for Italy, Stade Toulousain and Ange Capuozzo. A starter against France, the Nazionale full-back is suffering from a sprain of the acromioclavicular joint in one shoulder. That is what his federation announced on Monday.

The statement notes that “the player will return to his club and will follow the rehabilitation programme agreed between the Stade Toulousain medical staff and the men’s national team“.

Far from spared by injuries this season, Ange Capuozzo is expected to miss several weeks of action. In any case, he will miss the last two matches of the tournament against England and Wales.
