(Reuters) - France centre Wesley Fofana could miss the remainder of the Six Nations Championship after fracturing a rib during Friday's 27-6 defeat by Wales, his club Clermont Auvergne said on Monday.

The 26-year-old could be sidelined for up to a month, putting his involvement in France's final two matches against Scotland on March 8 and Ireland a week later in doubt.
