Gary Lineker has described Lucas Hernandez's World Cup injury blow as a "terrible shame" after the left-back tore his anterior cruciate ligament in France's 4-1 win over Australia.
The 26-year-old fell awkwardly on his right knee and he appeared to be in a lot of pain as he left the surface at the Al Janoub Stadium. Scans have since revealed that Hernandez has ruptured his ACL and now faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
It also means Hernandez will play no further part in France's World Cup campaign as they look to defend their title after winning the 2018 tournament in Russia. He played in every game on route to the final as Les Bleus beat Croatia 4-2 to lift their second World Cup.
