Lucas Hernandez, scorer of Bayern Munich's opening goal against Barcelona on Tuesday, ended up injured in the game with a torn adductor muscle that will keep him out for more than a month.
Lucas Hernandez experienced a rollercoaster of sensations against Barcelona. The Bayern Munich player opened the scoring after 50 minutes, but ended the game with discomfort that turned out to be more serious than expected.
The defender underwent an MRI scan just after the match, as he confirmed on 'El Partidazo de COPE', and 'L'Equipe' revealed on Wednesday the results of the tests that confirmed the injury.
Lucas will be out for around five weeks due to a torn adductor muscle. After the match, on the aforementioned channel, the player confirmed that he felt "a twinge" in the muscle that will finally keep him out for more than a month.
The defender is expected to miss up to three Bundesliga games and two Champions League games. Nagelsmann will not be able to count on him for the games against Augsburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, nor for the double clash against Viktoria Plzen. According to the estimates, he will be fit enough for the match against Freiburg on matchday ten.
