France star Lucas Hernandez is set to miss Euro 2024 after rupturing his Anterior Cruciate Ligament during Paris Saint-Germain’s 1-0 defeat at Borussia Dortmund. Hernandez continued to play on after receiving treatment but was eventually substituted, with Lucas Beraldo taking his place. Following a scan that revealed the ACL injury, surgery was confirmed, ending his chances of participating in the Euros. This setback is particularly disheartening for Hernandez, who has faced significant injuries in the past.

He has been a crucial part of PSG’s squad this season as they aim for multiple titles. PSG’s coach Enrique acknowledged the challenges faced in the recent match and praised the team’s supporters for their unwavering encouragement. However, the disappointment in the dressing room was palpable, especially after hitting the post twice. Enrique emphasized the difficulties of the semi-final Champions League match and reflected on the team’s tactics and the support from the fans.

Despite the outcome, he acknowledged the exceptional atmosphere in the stadium and the fans’ dedication to their team.
