Maxime Machenaud ruled out of Champions Cup Final

Racing 92 suffered a major setback when it was revealed that France scrum-half Maxime Machenaud will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury.

According to AFP, Machenaud sustained the injury in Racing's 39-15 win over Bordeaux-Bègles at Stade Chaban-Delmas on Sunday.

The 29-year-old's injury rules him out of Racing's clash with Leinster in the Champions Cup Final in Bilbao on May 12.

"Very sad to have to announce that the season is finished for me," Machenaud said via his Instagram account.

"Victim of a total rupture of the ligaments. I will have to stay on the sidelines for some time."

The injury also means Machenaud will miss France's upcoming tour of New Zealand in June.
