Pelous on track for return

France and Toulouse captain Fabien Pelous is expected to be back in action by mid-September as he recovers from a knee injury.

The 31-year-old, who has 101 caps with Les Bleus, suffered ligament damage during Toulouse’s 18-12 Heineken Cup victory over Stade Francais on May 24.

Pelous had an operation on June 3, and has spent the last two weeks following a specially-designed physiotherapy programme.
