Psg Defender Hernandez To Miss Euros

Paris Saint-Germain and France defender Lucas Hernandez is set to miss Euro 2024 after rupturing knee ligaments in his team's Champions League loss to Borussia Dortmund, the club announced.

The 28-year-old "will undergo surgery in the coming days", said the French champions in a statement.

Hernandez injured his left knee during the passage of play which led to Niclas Fuellkrug scoring the only goal of Wednesday's semifinal first leg tie in Germany.

The 2018 World Cup winner returned to the pitch for a few moments, before being replaced by Lucas Beraldo.

His latest setback is a blow to France coach Didier Deschamps who will announce his squad on 16 May for the European championships which get under way in Germany on 14 June.
