Breathe a sigh of relief at Bayern. After the numerous Corona failures at the German record champions, Lucas Hernandez is the last professional to leave the quarantine and will be available to FCB again in the foreseeable future.
With Kingsley Coman, Alphonso Davies, Manuel Neuer, Tanguy Nianzou, Omar Richards, Leroy Sane, Dayot Upamecano and Lucas Hernandez, eight players were unavailable to Julian Nagelsmann last week due to a corona infection. The squad, filled with youth players, was beaten by Gladbach 2-1. BVB’s win against Freiburg last night means the gap in second place is only three points.
Hernandez – Davies replacement on the left?
All the better that Hernandez was the last professional to leave the quarantine. His wife Amelia Lorente posted a photo from the plane on Instagram with the comment “Home,” suggesting the couple have left their quarantine in the Maldives and headed to Munich.
The mandatory health check is now waiting for the French before Nagelsmann has one more option on the defense of the German record champions.
Hernandez in particular will be the number one candidate in the next few games to begin replacing Alphonso Davies, who has been found to have signs of heart muscle inflammation. While the 25-year-old is mostly used in central defense at FC Bayern, he knows the position of the left-back from the French national team.
