Reports: Theo Hernandez to miss Italy-France San Siro clash due to knee issue | OneFootball

Tonight should be a chance for Theo Hernandez to play at San Siro for a team that is not AC Milan given Italy host France, but there are concerns about his knee.

According to what is being reported by various sources including MilanNews, Theo was missing from France’s training session at San Siro on the eve of the match against the Azzurri and that places his presence in doubt.

The Milan full-back, who was criticised by the French press for his lacklustre performance in the goalless draw against Israel on Thursday, left the UEFA Nations League match with a knock to his knee.

For this reason, he is unlikely to play tonight at his ‘home’ stadium, with Lucas Digne now the favourite to start on the left. Now, the hope of the medical staff will be that he doesn’t return to the Rossoneri with a more serious issue.

There is a chance that it is just a precautionary measure of course so as not to run the risk of a minor issue becoming something more. However, it is not ideal news for Paulo Fonseca in view of Saturday evening’s crucial game against Juventus at San Siro when Serie A resumes.
