Impact Hernandez only made it 71 minutes into the match before Eduardo Camavinga took his place on the pitch.

He ends the first half of the season with six assists and three goals between league, UCL and national team matches, an exceptional run for a quality player.

Absent from training Friday Hernandez was absent from Friday's training session ahead of Sunday's final against Argentina due to a knee problem, according to RMC Sport.

Impact Hernandez scored in the semifinal winner over Morocco and would be a big absence as he and brother Lucas Hernandez are their top options at left-back. Interestingly, Eduardo Camavinga was used on the left flank when Hernandez was rested during the group stage against Tunisia, so this is one option if Hernandez isn't an option to start by Sunday.
