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.

Premiership Cup semi-final draw and dates confirmed

It was a cold evening when I realized I had lost everything. My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at my empty crypto wallet. Three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of Bitcoin—gone. I had fallen victim to an elaborate scam, a promise of high returns that had turned into my worst nightmare.I had always been cautious with my investments, but these scammers were professionals. They posed as a legitimate crypto investment firm, complete with a polished website, convincing testimonials, and even fake regulatory approvals. Their scheme was perfect—until it wasn’t. After weeks of trying to recover my funds on my own, filing complaints, and chasing shadows, I almost gave up. That’s when I stumbled upon Galaxy Ethical Tech, a company renowned for its expertise in ethical tech solutions and cryptocurrency fraud recovery. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to Galaxy Ethical Tech through their official website. Within hours, I received a response from their lead investigator, Daniel Carter. His calm yet confident tone gave me a renewed sense of hope. We’ve handled cases like yours before,” he assured me. “If the scammers haven’t moved your Bitcoin through an extensive network of tumblers, there’s a good chance we can track it. I handed over all the details—wallet addresses, transaction IDs, emails, and even chat logs with the scammers. Within 48 hours, their team of blockchain analysts got to work.Galaxy Ethical Tech used advanced blockchain forensics to trace the movement of my stolen Bitcoin. Every transaction left a digital footprint, and with their AI-driven tracking tools, they followed the money trail. It turned out that the scammers had transferred my Bitcoin through a series of crypto mixers, attempting to break the chain of traceability. However, Galaxy Ethical Tech had access to specialized de-anonymization algorithms and partnerships with global cybersecurity agencies. One breakthrough came when they identified a suspicious transaction leading to a centralized exchange. Using legal channels and law enforcement partnerships, they froze the scammer’s wallet before they could cash out.After two intense weeks, I received an email from Galaxy Ethical Tech: We’ve recovered your lost Bitcoin.
