Tommaso Menoncello sidelined with muscle injury at Stade Toulousain

Italian rugby star Tommaso Menoncello is sidelined with a muscle injury while playing for Stade Toulousain in France's Top 14. The center missed the recent match against Bordeaux Bègles and is expected to miss the upcoming fixture against Vannes.

Reports indicate that Menoncello has been undergoing individual rehabilitation and has not participated in collective training sessions. While French media outlets suggest his absence against Vannes is certain, the injury is described as a minor muscular issue.

Despite the setback for his club, the injury does not currently pose a significant threat to his availability for the Italian national team. The medical staff is prioritizing caution to ensure he is fully recovered for the Nations Championship and upcoming international fixtures in November.
