Like Davies, who did not have surgery and returned to Munich for rehabilitation, French world champion Hernandez was injured in the national team. He had to undergo surgery for a tear in the medial meniscus on his left knee.
According to sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, he had “a few weeks” and “a break of at least six weeks”, Kicker reported.
