Dusautoir ruled out of England clash
- 2278
Thierry Dusautoir is set to miss France’s second match with England this weekend in Paris.
The French captain is still recovering from a knee injury he picked up ten days ago in training and the coaching staff are taking no chances with his fitness.
AFP report that Dusautoir is now set to return for France’s final warm-up match against Scotland on September 5.
Wesley Fofana and Mathieu Bastareaud are expected to return as France make major changes to the side who lost at Twickenham.
One bonus for France was that Fulgence Ouedraogo filled in well for Dusautoir on Saturday while Louis Picamoles returned in the back row with a strong performance in his first start this year.
