Lucas Hernandez is back with France team nine months after a serious knee injury

PARIS: Paris Saint-Germain defender Lucas Hernandez was called back Thursday to the France squad ahead of a European Championship qualifying match, nine months after a serious knee injury. Hernandez, who joined PSG from Bayern Munich, was included in a 23-man list by France coach Didier Deschamps. France will resume their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign against Ireland at Parc des Princes on Sept. 7. The 2018 World Cup champions then play a friendly at Germany on Sept. 12. With four wins in as many matches, France are in first place in Group B with a six-point lead over Greece. Hernandez, who has 33 international appearances under his belt, has not played with France since he ruptured the ACL in his right knee eight minutes into the national team’s opening game against Australia at last year’s World Cup.

Zvonimir Boban: UEFA won't follow 'absurd' English stoppage time rules

The new stoppage-time rules that English soccer has enacted this season to avoid time wasting are "absurd" and will not be used in UEFA competitions, Zvonimir Boban, the European governing body's chief of football, said on Wednesday. Following FIFA's approach at the men's and women's World Cups, England's referees body said in July officials would add on the exact time lost to goal celebrations, substitutions and injuries. The aim is to increase the time the ball is in play, with games now routinely going beyond 100 minutes in total. Manchester city midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester United defender Raphael Varane and global players' union FIFPRO have criticised the new approach, saying it will increase player workload in an already packed schedule. "It's absolutely absurd," former AC Milan and Croatia midfielder Boban told reporters in Monaco. "Regarding player welfare, it's some kind of small tragedy or big tragedy because we are adding almost 12, 13, 14 minutes. "When you play 60, 65 minutes - I can speak from my experience, especially as a midfielder - when you get tired, it's the last 30 minutes of the game. And then somebody comes and adds another 15 minutes. "How often we have spoken critically about the calendar and too many games.
