Before going to Clairefontaine for the Blues rally on Monday, Theo Hernandez appeared during AC Milan's victory on the pitch of Hellas Verona (1-3) this Sunday, on behalf of the 29th day of Serie A. Very in good shape recently, the French full-back opened the scoring thanks to a nice solo festival.
Starting from the left wing, he played Cabal thanks to a favorable counterattack before entering the penalty area.
He then passed Duda with another rebound before adjusting Montipo from the left just before half-time (44th).
Author of his fifth goal of the season in Serie A, which comes in addition to his ten assists in all competitions, the French international (23 caps) was warned for his celebration deemed too provocative by the referee and will be suspended against Fiorentina in two weeks for accumulation of yellow cards.
He will still be able to keep up the pace by potentially playing in friendlies with the France team against Germany (March 23) and Colombia (March 26).
