Antoine Dupont is missing the Autumn Nations Series due to an injury.
The French scrum-half suffered a cruciate ligament injury during France’s 42-27 victory over Ireland in the Six Nations.
He missed the France’s title securing Six Nations win over Scotland, and Toulouse’s title securing Top 14 victory over Bordeaux later in the season.
Dupont confirmed during a PSG game that he would be returning to action before the end of the year, but not in time for the Autumn internationals.
