“He had complications”: the state of health of a French international arouses great concern in Toulon

Concern is growing seriously in Toulon. During the review of the season that he made this Wednesday to the press, Pierre Mignoni mentioned the case of the second row Matthias Halagahu. The international (2 selections) is greatly handicapped by a foot.

The last chance operation for Matthias Halagahu?

The RCT rugby director did not hide his concern: “We are worried, because he’s going to have another operation. This is not good news. The season is not over yet we are already starting to encounter problems again. He had complications during the first operation,” he said.

Matthias Halagahu suffers from a ruptured plantar plate in his right foot and degenerative osteoarthritis.

The 24-year-old had surgery in September 2025, then was sidelined for 6 months, already due to a problem with the same foot. “It’s a delicate operation, but it was necessary. He had a particular fracture in his foot, and it’s very disturbing in the supports,” Mignoni explained.

Only 6 matches after his return to competition, Matthias Halagahu relapsed during the slap received in Marseille against Toulouse (27-51) in May 2026.

“It will be late with an absence longue durée”

The Var club is waiting to have further information in order to communicate on the state of health and the situation of Matthias Halagahu. “We’re starting on the same basis as last year: it will be a long-term absence,” said Pierre Mignoni, who was obviously concerned about the situation of the kid.
