Before Benfica: Bayern fear for Hernandez

With 5:2 at Union Berlin, FC Bayern has come back after the cup defeat in Gladbach. But there was still a drop of bitterness in the stadium at the Alte Försterei. Lucas Hernandez is injured.

The 5:2 meant the first home defeat of the Berliners in the current season, at the same time it was balm for the shaken soul of the Bavarians after the desolate 0:5 cup defeat in Gladbach.

But all was not well at the end for the record champions, as Lucas Hernandez had to be substituted in the 68th minute. “Hernandez took a knock below the knee, he had indicated that he would not be able to continue playing,” explained co-trainer Dino Toppmöller after the final whistle in the absence of Julian Nagelsmann, who is still in Corona quarantine.

“We hope he can be there on Tuesday. “

Toppmöller was unable to say exactly how serious the problem was, but he was confident ahead of the upcoming Champions League home game against Benfica Lisbon on Tuesday: “We hope that he can play on Tuesday. “
