Georgian blow for Clermont

Tuesday 2 Dec 2014

Clermont's Georgian international flank Victor Kolelishvili is likely to be ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.

The 25-year-old completely ruptured the cruciate ligament in his right knee and suffered meniscus damage during Saturday's loss which saw Clermont toppled from the Top 14 summit by Toulon.

The club said in a statement they expect the 31-times capped player to be ruled out for "about seven to eight months".

Kolelishvili was replaced in Saturday's 27-10 defeat in the 11th minute after a clash with Australian winger Drew Mitchell.

Claremont next face Munster on Saturday at Thomond Park as the European Champions Cup continues.
