Ce qui attend Antoine Dupont d'ici son retour sur les terrains

Après sa rupture des ligaments croisés du genou, Antoine Dupont devrait retrouver les terrains dans un « délai idéal » de « huit mois », estime Jean-Philippe Hager, ancien médecin du XV de France, selon qui le capitaine des Bleus pourra revenir avec un genou « à 100 % » en novembre.

« Quand on voit le mécanisme lésionnel, malheureusement, on se dit qu’il s’est passé quelque chose de grave au genou » : en direct samedi après-midi devant sa télévision, le Dr Hager, vice-président du comité médical de la Fédération française de rugby, n’a eu guère de doutes sur le diagnostic à poser concernant le genou droit du demi de mêlée tricolore.

Dans un regroupement après 29 minutes de jeu, la jambe de Dupont est restée coincée à cause d’un déblayage irlandais et son genou a tourné jusqu’au point de non-retour.

Le joueur star du XV de France a confirmé les craintes le lendemain, indiquant sur ses réseaux sociaux s’être rompu les ligaments croisés, au même genou que sept ans plus tôt, déjà contre l’Irlande, dans le Tournoi des Six Nations. À l’époque, il avait déjà été absent durant huit mois.

Une course contre-la-montre s’est engagée depuis cette nouvelle blessure pour voir l’un des tout meilleurs joueurs du monde retrouver les terrains le plus vite possible, et surtout dans les meilleures conditions.

Un morceau de tendon greffé à la place du ligament

« On sait aujourd’hui que huit mois, c’est le délai idéal pour respecter ce qu’on sait de la physiologie et ce que les statistiques nous disent », explique Jean-Philippe Hager, avant d’ajouter : « Si on reprend avant huit mois, il y a un peu plus de risques de casser à nouveau. »

Durant ce laps de temps, que les supporters du XV de France et du Stade Toulousain trouveront forcément trop long, le capitaine bleu va devoir passer par plusieurs étapes, qu’il connaît déjà pour les avoir suivies en 2018.

D’abord une opération qui peut survenir plus ou moins vite en fonction du chirurgien et de la nature de la blessure. « Dans le cas présent, je pense qu’ils vont prendre une décision surtout en fonction du ligament interne, (…) mais à mon avis, ils ne vont pas traîner », avance le médecin lyonnais avant de détailler le geste : « On prend un morceau de tendon ailleurs qui va être greffé à la place du ligament. »

La suite se déroule en trois phases qui doivent permettre au demi de mêlée de retrouver ses facultés à plein.

En premier lieu, « une phase de récupération de la mobilité et du confort » pour se remettre de l’opération, avant « une deuxième phase qui va être basée sur le renforcement musculaire », avec par exemple la reprise du vélo. Ces deux premières phases amèneront Dupont jusqu’au troisième mois post-blessure, courant mai.

Le champion olympique de rugby à VII pourra alors passer à la réathlétisation « avec une reprise de la course à pied qui sera autorisée en fonction de l’état des ménisques, entre le troisième et le quatrième mois », selon l’ancien médecin du XV de France, entre 2007 et 2011.

Pas de facteur d’inquiétude

Après une prise en charge immédiate par l’équipe médicale de la FFR, sur le terrain de l’Aviva Stadium et dans les heures qui ont suivi, le processus de soins est désormais du ressort du Stade Toulousain. Le club ‘rouge et noir’ a récemment suivi son troisième ligne Anthony Jelonch pour deux ruptures des ligaments croisés en 2023 et 2024, mais sur deux genoux différents.

Pour le Dr Hager, le fait que Dupont ait déjà subi la même blessure au même endroit n’est pas forcément facteur d’inquiétude.

« Je pense surtout qu’il n’a pas de chance parce que ça aurait été n’importe quel genou, vu l’action, il y avait une lésion », estime-t-il en référence à la pression terrible exercée sur sa jambe par le deuxième ligne irlandais Tadhg Beirne et le pilier gauche Andrew Porter.

Le N.9 va donc d’abord passer beaucoup de temps avec les équipes médicales toulousaines, avant de passer entre les mains des kinés et, petit à petit, de retrouver les préparateurs physiques des champions de France.

« L’objectif, c’est un genou stable et confortable, capable de tout faire comme avant, à 100 % », résume Jean-Philippe Hager.

Si le délai de huit mois est tenu, Antoine Dupont reprendra sa vie de rugbyman en novembre, quand la saison 2025-26 de Toulouse aura bien débuté et que le XV de France s’apprêtera à lancer sa tournée d’automne.

Hello everyone here, I am here to warn you to please do not make the same mistake I made in the past, I was a victim of a bitcoin scam. I’m so glad that I have gotten all my funds back without any stress thanks to CYBERSPACE HACK PRO company. For me. I am posting this review because I want to be of help to someone out there going through a lot to recover their bitcoin even though many people told me it’s impossible. I invested about $632,000 from a Binary Operation company I found on Telegram. After much depositing, I decided to withdraw after several weeks but the withdrawal wasn’t successful. I contacted the binary operation through their email and phone number, though I didn’t get any response from them and that was when everything clicked that I was scammed. Some weeks later I got an email from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never heard from them again. I was really devastated at this moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. Then I was introduced to this wonderful recovery company Called CYBER SPACE HACK PRO company, so I emailed them Cyberspacehackpro(@)rescueteam.com explained to them what happened and all I had to do was to follow there instructions so they can help me recover my funds which they did and i got all my money back i am so happy i decided to share my good news for those that are having same issues should contact them via
