Nicolás Roger will miss Vannes' Top 14 meeting with Bordeaux-Bègles on Sunday, while Matías Alemanno has been declared fit.
The Rugby Club Vannes will conclude its current block of fixtures with a home match against Union Bordeaux-Bègles on Sunday, November 8, at La Beaujoire. Kick-off is scheduled for 15:00, with the encounter counting as the ninth round of the Top 14 season. The Breton side will have to manage without one of its Argentine playmakers, as Nicolás Roger has been ruled out after suffering a concussion.
Roger, who normally operates at fly-half, will therefore not be part of the matchday squad. The club's medical staff have followed the usual concussion protocols, and the player is expected to observe the mandatory rest period. His absence leaves Vannes with a reshuffled backline option for a match that carries significant weight at this stage of the championship.
In better news for the coaching staff, Matías Alemanno, the Argentine second-row, has been declared fit. The experienced lock is available for selection and should provide valuable depth in the forward pack. His presence will be particularly important given the physical challenge posed by the Bordeaux-Bègles side, who are known for their powerful ball carriers and aggressive defensive line.
Sunday's fixture marks the last game of this block before a break in the Top 14 calendar. Vannes will be eager to secure a positive result at La Beaujoire, where they have often relied on strong home support. The medical update offers a mixed picture, but the return of Alemanno gives the squad a boost as they prepare for a demanding confrontation.
The club has not provided further details on the exact composition of the team, which will be announced closer to kick-off. Supporters will be watching closely to see how the coaching staff adapts to Roger's absence, and whether Alemanno will start or be used from the bench. The match promises to be a stern test for Vannes, who will need a disciplined performance to compete with UBB.
