Luis Enrique shocked by the return of Lucas Hernandez

A true warrior. Last May, Lucas Hernandez was injured against Borussia Dortmund during the semi-final first leg of the Champions League. Verdict, a ruptured cruciate ligament, the worst injury for a footballer, the second for him after that of November 2022 with the France team against Australia at the World Cup. But after only seven months away from the field, the former Bayern Munich player has already made his return to the green rectangle with the French champions.

“I have only seen one case like him”

Enough to impress his coach Luis Enrique who mentioned his case at a press conference before Sunday's clash against OL: “Lucas' case is an atypical case. Normally when a player has been out of the team for 7 months and he comes back, I have only seen one case like him where I see him in a week on a physical level, even sometimes superior to certain players who are nevertheless doing very well. We cannot give him 90 minutes straight away. Next, we have to bring him in little by little in the competition, 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. -he explained. The interested party will appreciate it.
