Theo Hernandez, a left-back for Milan, may miss France’s big Euro 2024 match against the Netherlands because of a minor fitness issue. Fabrice Hawkins reports that Theo Hernandez, 26, did not show up for training on Wednesday due to a sore muscle, raising questions about his availability for Friday’s match.
In their opening match of the tournament, Les Bleus defeated Austria 1-0, with Hernandez emerging as the team’s best player.
It may sound disgusting, but Hernandez’s injury might actually be Milan’s lucky break. The former Real Madrid player had a fantastic tournament debut despite rumors that Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are interested in signing him.
Hernandez dominated Austria, laying the groundwork for what could turn out to be a major international competition. That would’ve undoubtedly invited more ‘unwanted’ attention from foreign clubs as Milan bid to keep hold of their talisman beyond the summer.
The Frenchman has declined to promise Milan his all going forward. He’s weighing his options following yet another season without a trophy. The Serie A powerhouses would plaster a massive price tag on his head if he requests to go, turning away potential bidders with their initial €80 million asking price.
