PARIS - France winger Gabin Villiere has been ruled out of their November Tests with an injury, a source told AFP on Monday.
Toulon's Villiere last played in July due to a finger issue and has recently undergone surgery for a groin problem.
Villiere started two of France's three July Test losses to New Zealand with regular starters Damian Penaud and Louis Bielle-Biarrey rested.
Coach Fabien Galthie will also be without captain Antoine Dupont, tight-head prop Uini Atonio and centre Yoram Moefana because of injuries for three internationals later this year.
Les Bleus play South Africa on November 8, Fiji a week later and then Australia on November 22.
