Bayern Munich coach supports Lucas Hernandez and Dayot Upamecano to appear in the 2022 World Cup

DBasia.news – Bayern Munich manager, Julian Nagelsmann, supports Lucas Hernandez and Dayot Upamecano to defend the French national team at the 2022 World Cup. According to Nagelsmann, the two players will be needed by Les Blues at the World Cup.

Lucas Hernandez is an important figure in the back line of the French national team. The 26-year-old player helped Les Blues win the 2018 World Cup trophy.

But right now, Lucas’ condition has been worrying. The reason, he suffered an adductor muscle injury in his left leg, when Bayern Munich faced Barcelona in the Champions League in mid-September.

It is still unnown exactly how long Lucas Hernandez would be out for. This situation has made it doubtful for him to appear with the French national team at the 2022 World Cup.

Julian Nagelsmann assesses Lucas Hernandez’s injury is quite worrying. Even so, the German coach believes Lucas will recover in time and defend Les Blues at the 2022 World Cup.

“He is symptom-free. I want him to be fit before the World Cup. It’s a tough injury, but he’s definitely making progress,” said Nagelsmann.

In addition, Julian Nagelsmann also commented on Dayot Upamecano’s chance to strengthen the French national team. Although often criticized for his performance, it is believed Upamecano will receive a call to appear with France.

“For me, he is a candidate for the French national team. They have six to seven talented and highly paid centre-backs available for the World Cup,” said Negelsmann.

“But I don’t think there is another defender who is as strong as he is today. I have known Upa for a long time, he has great potential.”

“His development is world class, he is active in building the game, he is good defensively anyway,” added the former RB Leipzig coach.
