Lucas Hernández, crying after being injured in his World Cup debut /
The French defender suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which will keep him off the pitch for between 7 and 9 months
Lucas Hernández, defender of Bayern Munich, was injured in the debut of the French team in the World Cup in Qatar, a match that ended in a win for France against Australia. An injury that occurred when trying to defend the goal of the Australians and that he already looked bad seeing that he needed help to get off the grass by his own foot.
The French Federation confirmed this Wednesday that, after the MRI he underwent in Doha, the French winger suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right leg. It is not the first serious injury suffered by the eldest of the Hernández brothers, who already had another ligament injury in the 18/19 season with Atlético de Madrid. Precisely in the rojiblanco team he sounded like a reinforcement for the next winter market, given that his prominence in the Bavarian team is quite residual, and Cholo is looking for a more complete left-back given the current ineffectiveness of Sergio Reguilón.
With Lucas’s there are three injuries to the French team in Qatar. Nkunku, with an injury to the external ligament of his knee, and Benzema, who will also be out for three to four weeks. Didier Deschamps will not be able to replace the defender, and he will have to make do with the 24 players who are still in contention. Theo Hernández, Lucas’s brother, will be his substitute for the remainder of the World Cup.
