Lucas Hernández was set for FC Bayern last season and had already played eight competitive games for Bayern Munich from the start until last Tuesday. In the 2-0 win against FC Barcelona, when the defender even gave Bayern the lead with his header, he injured his left thigh and is now out for the time being. The world champion now appealed to the attitude of his teammates after several setbacks in the Bundesliga.
While the German record champions in the Champions League showed very concentrated and serious performances in the two 2-0 victories against Inter Milan and Barca, they owed a lot in the Bundesliga with the last three draws in a row.
For the currently injured Hernández, this was mainly due to the lack of consistency that he identified in his team’s game: “We should go into every game as if it were a final,” the 26-year-old recommended to himself and his teammates to the ” tz”.
Hernández will be absent from Bayern Munich for several weeks
Especially in the defensive area, FC Bayern had repeatedly made individual mistakes and lack of concentration in everyday Bundesliga life, which recently led to the 2-2 draw against VfB Stuttgart.
Hernández hopes that the concentration and focus of all Bayern stars will be increased again from now on. “When we do that – like against Inter or Barcelona – we see how strong we can really be at the back,” continued the defender, who has been under contract in Munich since 2019.
As FC Bayern announced on Wednesday, the French international will be out for several weeks with a torn muscle in the left adductor area. It is currently rather unlikely that he will be able to play again in time for the Bundesliga hit on October 8th at Borussia Dortmund.
