L’Equipe: ‘Fears he has hit his ceiling’ – France doubting Theo’s future

Theo Hernandez’s start to the 2024/25 season has been way below his regular standards, and the AC Milan star may face a drop down the France National Team pecking order, according to reports from France.

During the European Championship, Theo struggled to impact games as he has done for club and country in the past. Going forward, he was not as strong, and he didn’t create much threat during the tournament. However, defensively, he was much better than he had previously been.

Unfortunately, since the start of the new season, the same cannot be said. The left-back has struggled when going forward and during defensive phases. As a result, questions are being asked of him, and whether he is in the right frame of mind.

With his struggles, a report from L’Equipe (via Get French Football Now) states that the French camp fears that he has hit his ceiling. It is reported that the left-back will not start against Belgium this evening, with 31-year-old Lucas Digne being preferred instead.

If this comes to fruition, it will be the second game in three that the left-back has been dropped, a worrying statistic. Furthermore, if Theo has hit his ceiling, the Rossoneri may have to reconsider his demands.
