Lucas Hernandez, France’s starting left-back four years ago, played only
eight minutes against Australia on Tuesday before tearing his right ACL.
In a statement to the French soccer federation, coach Didier Deschamps
said, “We’re losing an important element.” Lucas is a fighter.
In the incident where the cross was delivered for Australia to score and
take a startling early lead in France’s 4-1 victory, Hernandez appeared to
twist his right knee while his leg was off the ground.
