Last Sunday, Didier Deschamps chose to line up the “hairdressers” for the trip to Baku. Lucas Hernandez thus began
the match against Azerbaijan for the final match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Established in central defense alongside Ibrahima Konaté, the Paris Saint-Germain player did not really stand out. He is also responsible for the goal conceded by his club teammate, Lucas Chevalier.
His presence in the French group raises questions.
“He shouldn’t even be on the list. I don’t understand. I have really had enough of this argument of experience, of knowledge of group life”judged David Gluzman on RMC.
Lucas Hernandez, an unjustified seniority bonus?
And the columnist continues: “This squad of the France team is studded with players who play in the biggest competitions. Many have already played in a World Cup, a Euro. “It shouldn’t be as much of a selection criterion.”
Victim of a ruptured cruciate ligament in his left knee in May 2024, Lucas Hernandez has not regained his best level since. It was the sixth major injury since the start of his career.
