Bitter news for Paris St.-Germain and France’s national team. Defender Lucas Hernández was seriously injured in the game against BVB.
Paris St.-Germain paid dearly for this goal. Not only that, thanks to the goal from BVB striker Niclas Füllkrug, the French go into the semi-final second leg of the Champions League with a 0-1 defeat. PSG defender Lucas Hernández was also seriously injured in the duel in front of the goal.
As it turned out one day after the game, it was so difficult that not only was the season over for the former Bayern professional, but the European Championship would also take place without him. The bitter diagnosis: tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee.
A short statement from the French champions said: “Today’s MRI scan confirmed the diagnosis made by the club doctors on Wednesday evening.”
And further: “The player will undergo surgery in the coming days. A further update will be made at a later date.”
This is Hernández’s second cruciate ligament tear
Hernández tried to prevent Füllkrug from scoring and received a blow to his knee. He then had to be treated and even tried to continue playing before the pain became too great and Hernández had to be substituted prematurely (42nd).
Hernández again: In November 2022, when he was still working for FC Bayern, the 28-year-old tore a cruciate ligament and missed the rest of his farewell season in Munich.
Throughout his career, he was repeatedly sidelined by serious injuries: a torn meniscus, a torn muscle bundle and several long-term inner ligament injuries each forced him to take several months off.
