That Theo Hernandez’s fate has been sealed for weeks is well known, but considering all the good moments over the years, it’s only right to reach the end of the season with heads held high—if only to avoid making the situation even worse.
The impression, however, is that from now until next June, the French full-back will continue to make headlines, but for the wrong reasons, following the pattern of this season: from the cooling break in Rome to the missed penalty in Florence and the red card in the Champions League against Feyenoord.
This was discussed this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, which headlined,
"Theo’s Last Snub."
The newspaper criticized the fact that the French full-back still accepted the call-up from his national team, making himself available to coach Deschamps for France’s upcoming fixtures, despite having asked Conceição to be substituted against Como due to calf discomfort that prevented him from continuing the match at his best.
At this rate, the situation risks falling apart sooner than expected.
