Already forfeited for the return match against Borussia Dortmund, Lucas Hernandez also risks having to withdraw from the Euro After injuring his knee on Wednesday against Borussia Dortmund.
Lucas Hernandez had a hard time hiding his distress. After having tried in vain to stay on the pitch after being hit in the left knee while trying to intervene against Niclas Füllkrug while the German striker was preparing to shoot Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Parisian defender quickly had to make up his mind and finally collapsed on the lawn of Signal Iduna Park.
After getting his face stuck in his jersey, the former Madrilenian went straight to the locker room, accompanied by the club doctors. And quickly, pessimism reigned in the Parisian ranks. Eighteen months after suffering a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right knee during the Blues’ first match at the 2022 World Cup, the worst is indeed to be feared for the native of Marseille.
To believe The Team, if Lucas Hernandez must undergo an MRI during the day to know precisely the nature of his injury, it is already certain that he will miss the return match against the Ruhr club, in five days, at the Parc des Princes as well as the end of the Parisians’ season. Above all, it is also likely that the French world champion will have to give up on the Euro in Germany, which will take place from June 14 to July 14.
Cruciate ligaments affected?
While the Parisian defender’s knee has swelled significantly, it is feared that the cruciate ligaments have been affected, which would mean, if necessary, several weeks of absence, or even several months if it is a rupture . Luis Enrique was hardly optimistic at the end of the meeting.
“I have no news from Lucas Hernandez. That doesn’t sound very positive. But we’re going to wait for the doctors to analyze it.” Luis Enrique told Canal+ at the end of the meeting, adding at a press conference: “ I don’t have any additional information than what the doctor gave us when he left. He couldn’t continue. I don’t know anything more. You will need to follow the club’s medical press release. »
