Clermont coach Franck Azema labelled the France rugby team management as "amateurs" after centre Wesley Fofana was injured during a series of routine physical tests.
Fofana returned to Clermont after picking up a thigh injury.
"They sent me back Wesley Fofana injured. It's frustrating really. I am angry that he gets injured during physical tests," Azema was quoted as saying on Clermont's website (www.asm-rugby.com).
"If he gets injured in training or during a match I don't mind but that it happens during a series of physical tests: it's amateurism."
Azema added that Clermont had warned the France staff that Fofana had picked up a thigh injury three weeks ago.
Thirty France players gathered for a training camp from 28 September to 1 October to prepare for the November internationals.
France will play Fiji in Marseille on 8 November before taking on Australia at the Stade de France and Argentina in St Denis.
