Lucas Hernandez has suffered a serious knee injury: it’s a rupture of the cruciate ligaments.
« The player will undergo surgery in the coming days. A further update will be provided afterward, » PSG announced in a statement. Barring any surprises, Lucas Hernandez won’t be back on the field before 2025.
The player himself has responded: « When I signed for PSG, I made a promise that I would give my heart and soul to this team, and that’s what I’ve done. Unfortunately, during last night’s match, I ended up injured. I pushed myself on the field and tried to keep fighting for our team, but it wasn’t possible. I want to thank all my fans and loved ones for their love and support. My comeback will be stronger than ever. »
The football world has also rallied to support the PSG defender. « My warrior, another tough challenge but you’ll never be alone, we’re all with you. Big strength, my brother, » wrote Kylian Mbappé on Instagram. His brother Theo Hernandez, as well as Benjamin Pavard and even the official French team account, have expressed their support for the defender.
