Italy's star fullback-winger Ange Capuozzo is set to be on the sidelines for several months after his club Toulouse said Tuesday that he broke his left fibula in the French champions' Top 14 defeat to Perpignan on Saturday.
Italy coach Gonzalo Quesada had already decided to rest the 26-year-old for the upcoming summer tour of Namibia and South Africa.
But the seriousness of the injury means he may also miss the autumn test series, which will see Italy take on Australia, South Africa and Tonga.
