With Paris Saint-Germain’s squad virtually complete at the end of the year, Djamel insists that 28-year-old defender Lucas Hernandez has yet to make his return to collective training sessions.
“Lucas Hernandez has yet to return to training.
The French international was again absent from today’s session.”
It’s a well-known fact that it takes a long time to come back from a knee ligament rupture. It can even take over 6 months in some cases, and some never return at all. Hernandez is no stranger to this type of injury, having already undergone a similar convalescence a little over two years ago.
Now, with age, you can’t rush anything. There’s no doubt that he’ll be back, but there’s no point in waiting for him to be in the squad for every match. He still has a long way to go to become competitive again. At the moment, he’s also slowed down by an illness. It’s bad luck, it happens.
Let’s remain patient, even if Hernandez’s return would be good news, there’s plenty to do in the PSG squad.
