The moment in which everything changed, in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain, was at the end of the first half. In the 35th minute Schlotterbeck throws Füllkrug on the edge of offside. Lucas Hernandez he rushes to prevent the German attacker from shooting, but arrives too late to block the ball.
On the contrary, in contact, the PSG defender’s left knee bends abnormally. And the player’s grimace does not bode well. After trying to stay on the pitch for a few minutes, he was forced to raise the white flag. With good reason, we discover today, given that the diagnosis is a serious one: rupture of the cruciate ligament.
This is what we read in the medical bulletin published by the French club: “Injured during the UEFA Champions League match between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain, Lucas Hernandez suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The MRI carried out today confirmed the diagnosis made on Wednesday evening by the club’s doctors. The player will undergo surgery in the next few days. A new assessment will then be made.”
