The Top 14 outfit said their captain "showed symptoms last weekend and passed tests that showed a hernia in the cervical spine", and that he would undergo an operation on Wednesday.

Chouly will miss France's two November Test matches against world champions New Zealand, as well as games with South Africa and 2019 World Cup hosts Japan.
