Lucas Hernandez Eliminated From World Cup Due To Severe Knee Injury

Lucas Hernandez, a defender for France, ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during his team’s 4-1 Group D victory over Australia and is therefore out of the 2022 World Cup.

Just before Craig Goodwin gave the Socceroos the lead in the first half, Hernandez fell to the ground holding his right knee and had to be carried off the field.
Additionally, the prognosis was grave following an MRI scan at the Aspetar facility in Doha, which eliminates him from the remaining competitors.

Didier Deschamps, the manager of France, expressed his deepest condolences for Lucas on behalf of the entire team, players, and staff.
“We’re losing a crucial component.”
Being a warrior, Lucas will do everything in his power to get back to the top of the game. He’ll have courage, I can guarantee that because I know him well.

I wish him the speediest recovery possible on behalf of the group.
Adrien Rabiot, Kylian Mbappe, and a brace from Olivier Giroud helped France come back from being down to win easily.

With his goals, Giroud tied Thierry Henry’s record of 51 goals for France overall.
However, Mbappe was the player who caught everyone’s attention the entire time. The Paris Saint-Germain forward tormented his opponents and supported his claims of being, arguably, the best player in the world right now.

Following the game, BBC analysts Didier Drogba and Vincent Kompany discussed Mbappe’s performance. The former predicted Mbappe would try to win the Champions League with PSG before making a high-value transfer.
