Lucas Hernández lying on the ground complaining of pain in his left knee
Central defender Lucas Hernández (28, France), who plays together with Lee Kang-in and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), will not participate in the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 2024) due to a knee injury. It failed.
British public broadcaster BBC said on the 3rd (Korean time), "Hernandez, a defender of the French national team, injured his knee in the first leg of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League semifinals against his team PSG," and added, "As a result of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, the left knee was injured." “The anterior cruciate ligament was ruptured.”
“PSG and Hernández have decided to undergo surgery soon,” he said. “As a result, Hernández will not be able to play for the French national team at Euro 2024.”
Euro 2024 will be held in Germany from June 14 to July 14.
An anterior cruciate ligament rupture usually takes 6 to 8 months to rehabilitate, making it impossible for Hernández to participate in Euro 2024.
In the first leg of the UCL semifinals against Dortmund (Germany) held at the BVB Stadion in Dortmund, Germany on the 2nd, Hernández withdrew as a substitute after complaining of pain in his knee in the 42nd minute of the first half, and PSG ended up losing 0-1.
Hernández, who represented France in all age groups, was the starting center back and played 37 international matches, so it was inevitable that France would lose power.
France will compete in Group D against Netherlands, Austria and Poland at Euro 2024. 스포츠토토맨
