Pelous back in training

22 March 2007, 11:56 am

France captain Fabien Pelous has returned to training, 13 weeks after sustaining the injury that forced him out of Les Bleus' successful RBS 6 Nations Championship campaign.

Pelous hurt his ankle while playing for Toulouse in a Heineken Cup group match against Llanelli Scarlets in mid-December.

Initially, he was only set to be sidelined for a month but the problem took longer than expected to heal.

The lock ended up missing the entire RBS 6 Nations, won by France on Saturday on points difference thanks to their dramatic 46-19 win against Scotland in Paris.

However, Pelous has returned to the field and has been in light training with Toulouse this week.

It should be at least a month before he is back in competitive action.

Pelous' Les Bleus team-mate, Remy Martin, is also on the comeback trail following a virus which made him miss the Six Nations.

He is back in training, but Stade Francais' match against Bourgoin on Saturday may come too soon for the flanker.
