France defender Lucas Hernandez is set to miss Euro 2024 after suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
Hernandez sustained the injury in Paris St Germain’s 1-0 Champions League semi-final first-leg defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night.
The 28-year-old appeared to hurt himself in trying to prevent Dortmund forward Niclas Fullkrug scoring what proved to be the only goal of the game in the 36th minute, and was replaced by Lucas Beraldo a few minutes later.
Lucas, you’ll come back even stronger. We’re all with you. ❤️💙
