Touched in the cervical during the victory against Toulon on April 22, the hooker of Castres Olympique (7 selections) was operated on Thursday for a cervical hernia, according to L’Équipe. Gaëtan Barlot will not be restored to take part in all the preparation for the World Cup, which will begin on June 26.

During the last Six Nations Tournament, the CO player was number 3 in the hierarchy of tricolor hookers, behind Toulouse’s Julien Marchand and Peato Mauvaka, in the absence of Rochelais Pierre Bourgarit, then injured. The coach of the Blues, Fabien Galthié, will announce his list of 42 players for the preparation of the World Cup on June 21.
