Injured since the Champions League semi-final against Borussia Dortmund, Lucas Hernandez made his big return to the field on Tuesday during PSG's victory in Salzburg. Asked about the French world champion this Saturday at a press conference, Luis Enrique admits to having been impressed by the form of his player.
The ordeal is finally over for Lucas Hernandez. Often betrayed by his body, the 2018 world champion was stopped dead in his tracks last season in the semi-final of the Champions League. But he is now fit for the greatest happiness of Luis Enrique.
“He has a very good physical attitude”
Lucas Hernandez made his return to the field this Tuesday in the Champions League. The French defender got back on his feet faster than expected. Something to impress Luis Enrique which does not exclude an evolution of its game system following this return.
“It’s wonderful”
« It's possible yes. Lucas' case is an atypical case. Normally when a player has been out of the team for 6, 7 months and he comes back, I have only seen one case like him where I see him in a week at a good physical level, even sometimes higher than some players who are nevertheless doing very well. Of course, we can't give him 90 minutes straight away, we have to bring him into the competition little by little, but in Salzburg, it was a perfect moment in terms of the result and the context. And Lucas really wants to play, he has a very good physical attitude. When you see that, it's wonderful », blurted out the coach of PSG at a press conference on Saturday. Lucas Hernandez will therefore not play a full match immediately but at the start of the school year, he could quickly find his place in the eleven.
