David Skrela will miss Toulouse's crucial Heineken Cup encounter against Bath on Sunday. The France fly-half has returned to training after recovering from a thigh injury but is lacking match fitness and will not figure at the Recreation Ground.

Skrela did not feature in the 30-man squad named yesterday by the France head coach Marc Lièvremont for next week's three-day training camp ahead of the Six Nations Championship.

Florian Fritz and Romain Millo-Chulski, two players who made it into Les Bleus' squad, are doubts for this weekend's Pool Five match after sustaining injuries in last Saturday's shock 33-26 defeat by Glasgow.

The centre Fritz has an ankle problem while the lock Millo-Chulski has hurt his elbow. However, the centre Manu Ahotaeiloa will return to the squad for a match Toulouse need to win if the three-time champions are to guarantee a spot in the tournament's quarter-finals.
