Lucas will be Bayern’s new Davies

The Bayern roadrunner Alphonso Davies will have to put the brakes on after the myocarditis that the Canadian winger has been diagnosed with after overcoming the coronavirus at the end of last week. As reported by the German newspaper Kicker, in the Bundesliga champion have been out for at least four weeks, so he would not only miss three Bundesliga games (against Hertha, Leipzig and Bochum), but also the two Champions League round of 16 qualifiers against Salzburg.

For Nagelsmann this is a major setback, since does not have a profile similar to that of Davies in his team. Everything points, then, to it being Lucas Hernandez the one in charge of returning to a left side that he knows very well from his time at Atlético de Madrid and the French team. Both Cholo and Didier Deschamps He was placed in that position on numerous occasions, so everything points to Nagelsmann, who had been using him as a central defender so far this season, to convert him back to a full-back.

The goal of the Munich coach is for Lucas to be ready next Sunday when Bayern face bertha berlin in domestic competition. The French defender returned to exercise at the end of last week after his positive for Covid but, for now, he still does not join the group exercise. Although he does not have as much range as Davies, whom Nagelsmann used more as a lane in his scheme, physical characteristics and experience in that position make Lucas the best substitute for a Davies which, unfortunately, will take time to reappear.
