Dupont, Capuozzo returns hand Toulouse Top 14 run-in boost
France scrum-half Antoine Dupont and Italy full-back Ange Capuozzo have recovered from injuries to help Toulouse's French Top 14 bid, the record 24-time champions announced on Monday.
Dupont missed Toulouse's last game, a 38-10 defeat at La Rochelle on May 17, because of a groin niggle while Capuozzo has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since February 22.
The bad news for Toulouse, who are chasing a fourth successive Brennus title, is that France back-rower Anthony Jelonch will be out until the end of the season after dislocating his shoulder in mid-April.
Dupont, Capuozzo as well as Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn, who sustained a rib issue against La Rochelle, are set to feature against Lyon on Saturday.
Toulouse lead the Top 14 table with two rounds of the regular season to play.
They have already booked their place in the play-offs but victory this weekend would send them directly into the semi-finals, to be held in Marseille on the weekend of June 19-20.
