Racing 92 have provided an update on centre Paul Costes following his traffic accident last week, revealing the 23-year-old remains in hospital.
The former France U20 international was involved in a scooter accident last week that is expected to keep him sidelined for the coming months.
In a medical bulletin shared on social media on Tuesday, Racing revealed that Costes, who moved from Toulouse over the summer, is continuing his recovery in hospital.

Elsewhere in the bulletin, Racing revealed that France loosehead Hassane Kolingar is recovering at home after suffering a health issue in round five of the Top 14.
The 28-year-old left the field in the first half of the 55-25 victory over USA Perpignan at Stade Dominique Duvauchelle on October 3, though his club are yet to detail the nature of his absence.
Costes, meanwhile, was last seen on the field in the 48-31 round two defeat to Lyon at home, and while his exact return date is unclear, he is expected to spend an extended period on the sidelines.
“Following a health issue during Round 5, Hassane Kolingar is recovering at home,” Racing shared on social media.
“Paul Costes remains hospitalized and is continuing his recovery after his traffic accident.
“Hassane, Paul—the whole club is behind you; we are thinking of you.”
Following Racing’s recent 29-15 defeat to Toulon at the Stade Mayol, head coach Patrice Collazo said: “Paul is slowly recovering. There’s Paul, and Hassane. These things happen… These are life’s trials. It allows us to put things into perspective. It allows us, when you belong to a group like Racing 92 and you hear that you don’t have this, and that, and that there’s no public, no stadium… What matters is what happens in the locker room!”
Racing travel to Ireland this weekend to take on Munster in round one of the Investec Champions Cup at Thomond Park.
