France, Theo Hernandez’s ankle injury worries Deschamps

No training for Theo Hernandez: the situation

Despite the countless injuries that occurred before and during Qatar 2022, France has passed the group stage in first place in Group D and is preparing for the round of 16 against Poland. From the Bleus’ training camp, however, came another piece of news that has French fans and, by extension, Milan fans worried in no small measure: Theo Hernandez did not show up for Friday’s training session due to an ankle problem.

The French federation was quick to specify that it was not an injury that would affect the left flanker’s presence against Lewandowski and his teammates: the ankle would in fact have suffered a contusion and the doctors would have seen fit to rest it for a day. Hernandez should therefore return to the ranks on Saturday, on the eve of the elimination match against Poland, which will be played on Sunday at 4 p.m. Italian time in Doha.
