Touched in the adductors Tuesday evening during his victory with Munich against FC Barcelona (2-0), Lucas Hernandez, the international defender of Bayern, suffers from a tear. The exams, passed this morning, made it possible to assess the duration of his unavailability at several weeks according to the German club. He will therefore not be able to take part in the next gathering of the Blues and is already forfeited for the matches against Austria (September 22) and Denmark (September 25).
Kimpembe, Pogba, Kanté, Coman also absent
If the question of a lack of rhythm when attacking the World Cup in Qatar (November 20) can arise in the medium term for Lucas Hernandez, in the shorter term it is a new headache for Didier Deschamps , which must announce its list this Thursday for the League of Nations. In defense, the coach must already deal with the absence of Presnel Kimpembe, who was injured on Saturday against Brest (1-0) and who, due to a hamstring injury, will be out for around six weeks. Benjamin Pavard was also affected on Tuesday night against Barcelona, but Bayern seem less worried about their world champion.
Deschamps must also deal with the absences of Paul Pogba (knee), N’Golo Kanté (thigh) and Kingsley Coman (thigh). As for Karim Benzema (right thigh), he seems more than uncertain for these last two official matches before the World Cup.
