The French champions, even though they were the favorites of the competition, were unable to respond to this goal. The closest they came in the second half, when they hit Gregor Kobel’s goal post twice in one action. However, the defeat is only part of the bad news for PSG.
Lucas Hernandez suffered a serious knee injury when trying to block Fuellkrug’s shot. PSG’s main defender did a lot to stay on the pitch, but the pain was stronger and he was replaced by Lucas Beraldo in the 42nd minute.
– I don’t have good news about this. It didn’t look very positive. But our doctors must examine him and analyze the situation, said Luis Enrique in an interview with Canal+ after the meeting. Hernandez unnaturally twisted his left knee, which brought back the worst memories.
Enrique confirmed the star’s injury
On November 22, 2022, during the first match of the World Cup in Qatar against Australia (4:1), Hernandez tore the cruciate ligament in his right knee, which excluded him from the game for many months. At the World Cup, in which the French reached the final, Hernandez played only 13 minutes.
The Frenchman missed the rest of last season and left Bayern Munich in the summer. Hernandez prepared for the start of the current competition, already in the colors of PSG. And he was the starting defender in Enrique’s team.
This season, Hernandez played a total of 41 matches, in which he scored two goals and had two assists. PSG paid around EUR 40 million for the 28-year-old. Previously, Hernandez played not only for Bayern, but also for Atletico Madrid.
Hernandez is a 37-time French international. In 2018, he became world champion, and three years later he also won the UEFA Nations League.
