Despite his status as captain, Théo Hernandez is not unanimous at AC Milan, where Paulo Fonseca's staff criticizes him for his involvement. The French international should also be sanctioned.
Captain of AC Milan this season, Théo Hernandez has had a mixed start to the season. Author of two goals and two assists in Serie A, the French international does not always have the performance hoped for by Paulo Fonseca on the defensive level. Beyond his performances, which sometimes leave something to be desired, it is the attitude of the 27-year-old player that raises questions. Despite his new role as captain, AC Milan's number 18 sometimes gives the impression of being nonchalant, and his lack of involvement is starting to seriously offend Paulo Fonseca. The Portuguese coach's staff is not going to let this situation go unpunished and according to information from the Gazzetta dello Sportthe left back of the French team could be sanctioned upon returning from the international break.
The newspaper with the pink pages affirms it, Théo Hernandez has a good chance of suffering the same fate as Rafael Leao, whose involvement was not high enough in the eyes of Paulo Fonseca, and who had been a victim of the choices of ex-LOSC coach. The Portuguese striker had started three times in a row on the bench before returning to the starting XI against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Théo Hernandez could experience the same sanction, and thus start on the bench in the clash against Juventus Turin on November 23 after returning from the international break. By doing without his captain for such a poster for the Italian championship, Paulo Fonseca would send a strong message to his group and to the native of Marseille. It remains to be seen whether he will carry out his threats.
