Wesley Fofana to miss first Test against the All Blacks

The French squad will have to be without centre Wesley Fofana for their Test match against New Zealand on Saturday after the 30-year-old suffered a knee injury.

Fofana, who made his international debut against Italy in 2012, suffers from a beginning tendonitis of the knee and the French staff, who exempted him from training Monday and Tuesday, decided to take no risk and leave him to rest for the first test against the All Blacks.

Jacques Brunel will name his side to face New Zealand on Thursday morning (8:00 am in Auckland).
