Yacouba Camara sidelined for 6-8 weeks

Montpellier flank Yacouba Camara has been ruled out of France's November internationals against New Zealand, South Africa and Japan.

The French international revealed via his Twitter account that he had torn his ankle ligaments and would be sidelined for six to eight weeks.

The 23-year-old sustained the injury in Montpellier's 27-24 defeat at home to Exeter.

This adds to Montpellier and les Bleus' injury woes after the injury to first-choice fly-half Camille Lopez was ruled out for about 6 months after fracturing his ankle in Clermont's 24-7 victory over Northampton.
