USAP Injury Update: Joaquín Oviedo's Foot Fracture USAP Injury Update: Joaquín Oviedo's Foot Fracture The USAP team faces significant challenges this season, as key player Joaquín Oviedo has suffered a foot injury during the match against Vannes, which ended in a 20-20 draw. Despite an impressive performance, including 80 minutes of play with 18 ball carries and a solid defensive record, Oviedo's condition worsened after the game, leading to concerns from the medical team. Further examinations revealed a fracture in his foot, which is expected to sideline him for approximately two months. This injury is a considerable setback for the Catalan team, particularly as they are already coping with the absence of scrum-half Tom Ecochard, who is out for five to six weeks due to a shoulder injury, and potentially Ignacio Ruiz, who is facing inflammation. With two weeks of European break ahead, the team aims to recuperate and strengthen their lineup. Players like Posolo Tuilagi, Jacobus van Tonder, and Lucas Dubois are anticipated to return, providing hope in their fight for survival in the Top 14 league. source : lindependant.fr
