Rugby: Racing 92 flyhalf Owen Farrell operated on for pubalgia

Hard blow for Racing 92. The Ile-de-France club announced this Thursday evening that it will have to do without its fly half Owen Farrell for the next few weeks. The 33-year-old England international, an emblematic figure of rugby across the Channel, was operated on for pubalgia – a pain located in the groin.

Without specifying the exact duration of the unavailability of its player, who joined the Top-14 this summer, the club specifies that “this intervention will keep him away from the field for several weeks”. “All the medical and sports staff will support him throughout his recovery to ensure optimal recovery. »

 

Since the start of the season, Owen Farrell has started almost all of Racing’s matches in the Top-14. He will certainly miss the derby against Stade Français on November 24, and risks missing the start of the Champions Cup season, the European Rugby Cup, with the matches against Harlequins (December 7) and Sale (December 13). ).
