After 3 and a half months without playing, Matthieu Jalibert, hit in the right thigh, will return to the Chaban-Delmas pitch on Sunday, 9:05 p.m., for the 24th day of the Top 14, during the match against Rc Toulon. Good news for Union Bordeaux-Bègles, as the opener brings to his team when he is on the ground. The complicated pass of the last 3 months coincides with his absence: the UBB without Jalibert suffered 8 defeats in 11 games played.
Christophe Urios, the Béglais coach, reacted to the return of his star player this Wednesday at a press conference: “He’s an outstanding competitor, I haven’t come across many like that. When he says things, he does them“.
Maxime Lucu, who has taken over as scorer recently, should on the other hand retain this responsibility, to allow Jalibert to “focus on the fundamentals“, according to Christophe Urios.
