According to the rugby newspaper Midi-Olympique, Danty suffered a ruptured posterior cruciate ligament.

The centre has featured in two Top 14 matches and twice in the European Champions Cup for La Rochelle this season.

France kick off the defence of their Six Nations crown away to Italy on February 4 before taking on Ireland a week later.
