Milloud suffers another injury blow

By on 28th May 2008

French international prop Olivier Milloud ruptured his right Achilles tendon while training with his Top 14 side Bourgoin on Wednesday.


The 32-year-old veteran – capped 43 times with one try since making his debut in 2000 – will undergo further scans and x-rays on Thursday according to the club doctor.


Milloud, who was part of the France squad that reached the 2003 World Cup semi-finals where they lost to eventual champions England, is expected to be out of action for six months.


It is the second injury blow for Milloud this season – he had to undergo an operation on his neck last November which ruled him out of the Six Nations tournament.
