Lucas Hernandez ever closer to a comeback. Out in tears after eleven minutes of play in the first match of the last World Cup – 4-1 victory for the Blues on November 22 – the defender is back with the pro group.

Absent from the field for six months after a cruciate ligament rupture, Lucas Hernandez returned to collective training on Tuesday, a few weeks after the start of individual sessions.

“Today was a very important day after five and a half months of injury, explained the 27-year-old French defender after his first collective training. It’s very moving to come back to the team after a long injury. The feeling of being with everyone again is incredible.”

Package until the end of the season, the French international with 33 selections is already preparing for next season. “I train every day this week, explains the one who received a warm welcome from his teammates. Everyone was happy to have me back.”

Before returning to the field next season, Lucas Hernandez does not forget the group. On Saturday, he will travel to Cologne to support his teammates from the stands. Bayern travel to the field of FC Cologne for the last day of the championship. If Munich wins and at the same time Borussia Dortmund do not win against Mainz, the FCB will glean an eleventh title in a row.
