PSG Defender Sergio Ramos Suffers ACL Tear, Out for Extended Period

PSG's Lucas Hernandez is set for knee surgery, likely ruling him out of France's Euro 2024 campaign. The ACL injury comes after a similar injury in France's 2022 World Cup opener. Despite winning PSG's league title, Hernandez faces another setback ahead of the Euros, where France's squad will be announced on May 16.

Paris Saint-Germain defender Lucas Hernandez will have surgery after rupturing his left knee ACL, almost certainly ruling him out of playing for France at the European Championship.

Hernandez was injured on Wednesday night during the Champions League semifinal first leg against Borussia Dortmund, which PSG lost 1-0 in Germany.

PSG said he underwent a scan on Thursday and the 28-year-old Hernandez will undergo surgery in the coming days.

Euro 2024 takes place in Germany from June 14, and France coach Didier Deschamps names his squad on May 16.

Missing the tournament will be another bitter blow for Hernandez, who played just eight minutes at the 2022 World Cup after rupturing the ACL in his right knee in France's opening game against Australia.

Hernandez joined from Bayern Munich in the offseason and celebrated winning the league title with PSG last Sunday.
