France's Lucas Hernandez ruled out of FIFA World Cup 2022

In a major blow to France's World Cup campaign, Lucas Hernandez is most likely ruled out of the tournament after suffering from a ruptured ACL in his right knee during the game vs Australia on Tuesday. 

Lucas Hernandez, the starting left-back four years ago, lasted just eight minutes of France's opening



game.

“We're losing an important element,” coach Didier Deschamps said in a French soccer federation statement. “Lucas is a warrior.” Hernandez seemed to twist his right knee while his leg was off the ground in the play saw the cross delivered for Australia to score and take a shock early lead in France's 4-1 win.
