Juan Martin Hernandez rateaza Cupa Mondiala

Uvertura argentinana Juan Martin Hernandez nu va fi prezent la Cupa Mondiala din Noua Zeelanda.

Jucatorul in varsta de 29 de ani, care are 32 de selectii la activ in nationala pumelor, a suferit in martie o ruptura a ligamentelor incrucisate la genunchiul drept.

Accidentarea nu a putut fi rezolvata de medici, astfel ca Hernandez nu poate fi inclus in lista de 30 a selectionerului Santiago Phelan.

“De doi ani de zile evoluam fara Hernandez, asa ca va trebui si acum sa ne descurcam fara el. Imi pare rau ca nu il putem folosi, insa nu stiu daca puteam conta cu adevarat pe el la Cupa Mondiala”, a spus Phelan, tehnicianul care a ales 18 jucatori legitimati in Top 14, printre care si aripa lui Montepllier, Bustos-Moyano.

Ultimul meci sustinut de Hernandez sub tricoul Argentinei a fost la 13 iunie 2009.

Patricio Albacete (Toulouse/FRA), Marcos Ayerza (Leicester Tigers/ENG), Maximiliano Bustos (Montpellier/FRA) Alejandro Campos (fara club), Manuel Carizza (Biarritz/FRA), Agustin Creevy (Montpellier/FRA), Julio Alfredo Farias Cabello (Tucuman RC), Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe (Toulon/FRA), Juan Figallo (Montpellier/FRA), Mariano Galarza (sans club), Alvaro Galindo (Racing Métro/FRA), Mario Ledesma, Juan Manuel Leguizamon (Lyon/FRA), Rodrigo Roncero (Stade Français/FRA), Martin Scelzo (Agen/FRA), Leonardo Senatore (Gimnasia y Esgrima Rosario), Tomas Vallejos (Harlequins/ENG), Nicolas Vergallo (Toulouse/FRA), Horacio Agulla (Leicester Tigers/ENG), Marcelo Bosch (Biarritz/FRA), Gonzalo Camacho (Exeter/ENG), Felipe Contepomi (Stade Français/FRA), Santiago Fernandez (Montpellier/FRA), Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino (Montpellier/FRA), Agustin Gosio (Club Newman), Juan Jose Imhoff (Duendes RC Rosario), Alfredo Lalanne (sans club), Martin Rodriguez (Stade Français/FRA) Federico Sanchez (Bordeaux-Bègles/FRA), Gonzalo Tiesi (Stade Français/FRA)
