Olivier Giroud spontaneously "dedicated this match" to him and Thierry Henry's equaled goalscoring record.

If the France team started its World Cup fully on the left pedal, it also lost Lucas Hernandez for the rest of the competition, and probably the season, if we put ourselves in the defender's place Bavarian.

The world champion injured his right knee on his own trying to counter a ball against Australia on the action of the first goal and had to be supported by the medical staff to leave the lawn, in great pain , before having to give up his place in the 13th minute to his younger brother Théo as left-back

“It must weld us even more”

Lucas, 26, suffered a groin injury on September 13 and returned to competition on November 5, just in time to compete at the World Cup.

But the sensations were not good hot, and Deschamps did not hide his pessimism at the microphone of TF1: "He will do exams, it seems quite serious to me, we will have to confirm anyway, it's the big black spot from this evening.

"He's a warrior, a fighter, a great friend.

It doesn't necessarily smell very good but I hope it's not that bad, wanted to believe Benjamin Pavard, his alter ego on the right.

I will be there to support him, I am very sad for him tonight.

"" It's starting to do a lot, lamented for his part Hugo Lloris.

Lucas, we know his importance in the team, we need his aggressiveness, his gnac.

It's a new big blow, but it must weld us even more.

If the initial diagnosis were to be confirmed, the Blues would lose yet another player to injury after Kanté, Pogba, Kimpembe, or Benzema.

Above all, it would be necessary to play all the remaining matches with a single professional left-back and cross your fingers to avoid any additional glitch on this specific position.

Remember that at the Euro last year, it was Adrien Rabiot who had to take this position with the success that we know.
