Deschamps speaks frankly about Lucas Hernandez’s situation

Didier Deschamps defended Lucas Hernandez (28 years old, defender, Paris Saint-Germain) in a press conference, discussing his playing time and physical condition. The coach of the French national team praised the player's mentality, while reminding that he is recovering from two serious injuries and still needs to adapt his body to the high demands of PSG.

Deschamps "He has returned, without being at 100% yet"

"You have often asked me about playing time over the years. Lucas Hernandez is in a club where there is a match every three days. He hasn't been spared with two serious injuries. He has returned, without being at 100% yet. His mentality is important, he's a fighter. He is someone very positive, even when he is not playing. He is there for the team. His body requires adjustments. Playing two matches in a week still requires time for him. I hope he will have enough playing time," comments relayed by RMC Sport.

The French coach wanted to put an end to the concerns. For him, Lucas Hernandez remains a reliable player, despite the obstacles faced since his ligament ruptures. Even if his body is not yet fully ready to play two matches in a week, Deschamps emphasizes the added value of his mentality and personality in a group.
