Rugby, Capuozzo called up: perhaps he will play against Scotland

Wednesday Ange Capuozzo will be included in the list of Azzurri called up for the two final rounds (Italy-WalesMarch 11 in Rome; Scotland-Italy, 18 March in Edinburgh): the Azzurri staff aren’t having too many illusions about his presence for the match against the Dragons at the Olimpico, but hope to recover him for the last appointment in Murrayfield. Despite the injury to his left shoulder, which according to the Italian doctors is all in all less serious than when diagnosed by colleagues from the Toulouse club, where the Blue Angel was examined on Monday. On Saturday evening, at the end of the match against Ireland, Capuozzo – tackled hard in the final – had undergone an x-ray in Rome: which ruled out fractures, but highlighted “a musculoskeletal trauma to the left shoulder”, as stated today a press release from the Fir. Once back in France, the diagnosis changed: the impression, however, is that the Toulouse doctors – while denying the hypothesis of a surgical intervention – wanted to be more than cautious, hoping to have their star player definitively available in the month of April. “Nothing more Six Nations for Capuozzo”, they reiterated. but theItaly he doesn’t despair, he prefers that his own doctors take a look at the blue “nugget”. Ange will then join the group in Verona: “Under the supervision of the national team’s medical staff, the athlete will carry out further checks at the next national team meeting to evaluate the rehabilitation process in view of the fourth and fifth day of the Guinness Six Nations 2023 ”. According to well-informed sources, we won’t see him on the pitch at the Olimpico with Wales. But with Scotland, who knows.
