Knee operated, left winger Hugo Descat, Olympic champion in Tokyo in 2021, will be unavailable for two months.
The international left winger of Montpellier, Hugo Descat, operated on a knee, will be unavailable for about two months and therefore probably forfeited for the next world championship, we learned Thursday from the Hérault club.
Descat, 30, underwent meniscus surgery on Tuesday in Montpellier: “He will be convalescing for two months“confirmed Montpellier coach and manager Patrice Canayer.
Beyond the four matches preceding the winter break, and in particular the clash at the top against Paris SG, the international left winger (41 selections) will probably not be able to participate in the next world championship, organized in Sweden and Poland, from 12 to January 29.
Descat was crowned Olympic champion in Tokyo in 2021.
Montpellier, which has made an excellent start to the season, is in second place in the championship, tied on points with the Parisian leader, whom it will receive on December 17.
