He will also have surgery on another problem, in his foot.

The diagnosis is a high ankle sprain with a partial ligament tear. On Wednesday, his 22nd birthday, Nene will also undergo arthroscopy to treat a cartilage problem in his foot that had been bothering him for some time. The aim is to be back to 100% by the end of 2026.

Nine tries last season

In 2025-26, Nene scored 9 tries in 18 Top 14 games and won his first France cap. He had played in the first five rounds of the current season.

A costly game

The win over Montpellier (30-22) came at a price for the Parisians. Hooker Lucas Peyresblanques, stretchered off, has had surgery on a broken fibula and will be out for several months. Stade Francais are in South Africa, where they face the Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday in round one of the Champions Cup.
