Giving up on a World Cup is not easy, especially when you are seriously injured at the start of the competition!
This is the scenario faced by Lucas Hernandez… Victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee during the first match of the French team in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the player of 26-year-old was forced to retire following the competition. The Bayern Munich defender, successfully operated, should not push back a lawn for several long months.
Not spared by injuries in recent years, the native of Marseille would have even thought, according to The Team, to end his career. It was finally a discussion with his mother that would have changed everything. No retirement planned for the world champion who will once again have to rely on his mind to come back even stronger!
The Blues qualified
Victorious over Australia (4-1) in the first match, the Blues faced Denmark on Saturday, November 26 in a highly anticipated second meeting. Didier Deschamps’ men offered a good copy by winning (2-1) against an opponent who had already beaten them twice this year. Kylian Mbappé’s double allowed the defending champion to be the first team to qualify for the round of 16 of the Qatari world. The tricolors will be opposed to Tunisia in a final group where it will be necessary to ensure the first place of the group!
