He said it himself: “2021 was really not [my] year.

Mathieu Bastareau has already undergone two operations in less than a year, the first on the left knee in December 2020, the second on the right hand in September.

He will have two more in the coming days, following his serious injury contracted in Toulon, a few minutes after the start of the match with his club LOU.

The third line from Lyon, ball in hand, collapsed on its own, hit in both knees.

After exams passed Monday, the former center unveiled the verdict, on its social networks: rupture of the quadriceps tendon of both knees.

“It's a huge blow,” says Mathieu Bastareaud.

At 33, the question now arises of the player's future, when he only played eighty-five minutes of play in eleven.

“It's a long road ahead of me and I know I'm well surrounded by my family, my friends and the club, writes Basta.

I will take the time I need to get back to 100%.

And as for my future, I give myself time to think about it.
