Rugby World Cup 2023 – Info Midol. Charles Ollivon (XV of France) shortened his training
After three days of rest, the Blues were back in training this Monday. According to our information, the third row of the France team Charles Ollivon did not finish today’s training with the rest of his teammates.
A new physical problem or a simple precautionary measure? According to our information, Charles Ollivon, captain of the Blues in the absence of Antoine Dupont, currently recovering from his maxillo-zygomatic fracture, did not finish training with the rest of his teammates.
As a reminder, the Blues were back together after three days of rest. At the Georges-Carcassonne stadium in Aix-en-Provence, the French got back to work during training open to the press for the first fifteen minutes. The Tricolores, dispersed into two groups, shared this training with the hopefuls of Provence Rugby. The session ended behind closed doors with an opposition between the players in white bibs and those wearing blue bibs.
An opposition in which Charles Ollivon did not take part, who remained on the side in discussion with members of the French staff. He is also the only one not to have completed the training.
No hassle upon arrival at the hotel
Later in the late afternoon, the Blues returned to the Renaissance hotel in Aix-en-Provence. The Toulon third line was very present, without apparent embarrassment, nor an unduly worried face. It will be necessary to monitor his state of health in the coming days, but for the moment, there is no major concern surrounding his case.
The Blues, who will face Italy on October 6 to complete their group stage of the World Cup, will strongly need their third row, a true leader in this French team and captain in the absence of Antoine Dupont.
