"We'll have to see after the medical checks but it does not look good at all," Clermont coach Franck Azema told BeIN Sport after his team's 48-26 win in their final Pool 5 game.

Fofana, one of France's most highly rated players, sustained the injury on his own at the end of the first half.

He was unable to put his left foot on the ground as he left the pitch.
