Bayern Munich refusing to let Lucas join up with France squad

Bayern Munich will not allow Lucas Hernandez to link up with the France squad over the international break, the Bundesliga side's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has declared.

Lucas was on Friday included in Didier Deschamps' 23-man squad for the world champions' upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Iceland and Turkey.

However, the 23-year-old has missed Bayern's last two matches with a knee injury and Salihamidzic is refusing to let him join up with his national side while he recovers.
