Levani Botia's season over

Following La Rochelle's loss to Scarlets in the Champions Cup quarter-final at Llanelli, Levani Botia has undergone medical examinations that revealed that he has ruptured cruciate ligaments in his knee.

Levani Botia will therefore be unavailable for at least six months, ultimately ending his season.

"It is sad for the player, hit a second time by this serious injury. It's also a big loss for the team for the end of the season. " Commented Patrice Collazo, head coach of Yellow and Black.
