tore A medial ligament, a knee contusion and other injuries: Lucas Hernández, the Star purchase of the FC Bayern last summer, will be followed in his first season in Munich from bad luck. Currently, the 24-year-old Frenchman is having a hard time to get in the Team of coach Hansi Flick on time.

David Alaba, and Jérôme Boateng are set in the centre of defence, left Youngster Alphonso Davies shines. And Hernández? The only the Joker’s role remains mostly.

Lizarazu: Of Hernández’ class, there is no doubt

Now, there is encouragement for the world champion of 2014 – by a prominent land man: Bayern legend Bixente Lizarazu (50). “I believe very strongly in Lucas Hernández,” said Lizarazu in an exclusive Interview with the AZ, which appears on Friday: “Because of the injuries we have not yet seen its full potential. But in its class there is no doubt.”

Lizarazu, a former left-back at Bayern and today, a brand Ambassador, is convinced that Hernandez “is still a very important player for FC Bayern, when he reached the level he shows in the French national team. And I have no doubt. There are not so many foreign defenders in the world, which are defensive and offensively outstanding. Hernández can do both.”

His advice to Hernández: Properly fit, and then re-attack for Bayern. “I would like to see him in top form at Bayern,” said Lizarazu. “It’s not over for Hernandez, he needs to fight. And again: I believe in him!”
