The defender has missed his club's last two games and is one of several big names to be unavailable, including captain Lloris
Bayern Munich will not allow Lucas Hernandez to link up with the France squad over the international break, the Bundesliga side's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has declared.
The same applies for Austria international David Alaba, who suffered a hairline fracture to his rib in the 7-2 Champions League victory against Tottenham on Tuesday.
"We will notify the national teams that their players are not doing fine, that they are injured. Then the doctors will speak," he said.
The German champions are at risk of breaching FIFA regulations but Salihamidzic added both players will "definitely" not leave Bayern.
Bayern head coach Niko Kovac weighed in on the club-versus-country row after his side's 2-1 home loss to Hoffenheim on Saturday.
"We have our point of view and we have a duty to the players," he said. "If the players are diagnosed with an injury, it's clear that they cannot be used."

They should block the match from playing. Besides he has no place in France's national squad. They're threatening Germany national squad and now they want to cross to France. Who the Hell does Bayern think they're.
Another Ronaldo's fan absurd comment, who the hell do you think you are to question the directing board?

You are as gullible as kid. A little title twist and you are pointing fingers. Injured player no national call up, easy to understand.

Chelsea need to do the same with kante, France have one of the biggest squad, Deschamps don't seem to care much about the players welfare
I believe France has a team doctor, whom I believe will conduct their own fitness assessment to declare Kante fit or unfit

Good call. Injured players shouldn't be put on the pitch. Playing while injured can ruin their careers. Much respect to Bayern for standing up for their players! We need more clubs to do this. #MiaSanMia

Can he actually do that?

fair enough. if players have an injury then why would they even be called up in the first place? international managers typically don't care about fitness because they only need the players for a few games, which is a shame.

If the player wants to play for the national team, they cannot forcefully stop him
You're right. But if the player is not fit then they have all the right.
