Toulon have suffered a significant early-season blow after powerful lock Mamuka Gorgodze was ruled out for three months with a ruptured bicep.
The Georgian international suffered the injury during Toulon’s opening Top 14 loss of the campaign, to Racing 92 at Stade Mayol last weekend.
According to Var-Matin, Gorgodze will miss 12 weeks which is a major setback for the forward and his club, who face Pau (away) on Saturday.
