Toulouse hit with Donguy injury blow

TOULOUSE have lost the services of one of their major strike forces, wing Yves Donguy, ahead of their Heineken Cup quarter-final with Stade Francais.

The 28-year-old tore the cruciate ligaments in his right knee at the end of last weekend’s 26-10 Top 14 defeat against Biarritz. Donguy is set to undergo surgery this week and won’t be able to play for the rest of the season.

“It’s another real blow for our team. We are aware it takes one year to go back to a first-rate level after such an injury,” said coach Guy Noves.
