The French Football Federation announced that Lucas Hernandez will miss the rest of the World Cup matches, after he injured his knee during the world champions’ 4-1 victory over Australia in Group D, yesterday evening.
And after 9 minutes, the German defender, Bayern Munich, was injured, leaving the stadium after he had been on the grass for two minutes, holding his knee. The French Federation confirmed to “Reuters” a report published by the newspaper “L’Equipe” earlier, in which it said that Hernandez had suffered a cut in the cruciate ligament of the knee and would not complete the tournament.
The incident is the fastest serious injury in the World Cup in Qatar so far.
