Lucas Hernandez thought of quitting his career.

The France team's defensive player Lucas Hernandez contemplated giving up football after suffering a right knee anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Lucas Hernandez thought of quitting his career. L'Équipe reported that on the evening of the Blues' victory against Australia (4-1) on Tuesday, November 22, the defender for the France squad contemplated hanging up his crampons in his bed.

The Bayern Munich defender had to withdraw from the World Cup due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, and he probably won't be able to play until next season.

NON-AVAILABILITY FOR A FEW MONTHS

His season in Bavaria will likely come to an end because a similar injury requires at least six months of recovery time (last day of the Bundesliga on May 27, German Cup final on June 3, Champions League final on June 10).

On September 13, the Blues' 2018 world champion suffered an adductor injury, and he didn't compete again until November 5. The player for Bayern Munich would have been affected by this accumulation of injuries on their spirits.

The conversations with his mother and the presence of his brother in the room with Olivier Giroud and Benjamin Pavard would have caused the Frenchman to rethink his choice.

This Thursday, November 24, the defender's club revealed that the procedure in Innsbruck, Germany, went well.

A press release from Bayern Munich stated, "After his rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee, Lucas Hernandez was successfully operated on on Thursday evening in Innsbruck by professor Christian Fink. The Munich-based club continued, "The Bayern defender will start his recuperation in the coming days."
