While it is true that the debut of Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández against UNAM Pumas this Saturday in the activity of date 8 of the Clausura 2024 tournament seems far-fetched, everything indicates that this possibility will be a fact for matchday ten against Cruz Azul.
As we reported yesterday in La Opinión, Hernández made too much progress in his rehabilitation and this Thursday he received authorization to train with the first team led by Argentine Fernando Gago.
The above opens up the great possibility that he could act sooner than expected, since by being promoted with the players who have regularly performed in the current championship, the options for debuting have gradually grown.
As you will remember, ‘Chicharito’ underwent surgery last year on the cruciate ligament in his right knee, generating a complicated diagnosis, but thanks to the player’s perseverance, things have changed and everything indicates that we will soon see him facing the other rivals of the team. MX League.
The knee injury has kept him away from the courts for almost eight months, but now things have changed and Javier Hernández himself was the one who shared this great news on social media, training alongside his teammates.
Until before this Thursday, Chicharito came on in the afternoons at a different time than the first team and did so together with Carlos Cisneros, who is also rehabilitating from a similar injury.
So it would not be at all strange for the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham United, Sevilla and LA Galaxy player to appear in the duel against Cruz Azul with the shirt of the squad that gave him his footballing birth.
This news will undoubtedly be a shock for a team that in the last two dates has declined with a draw against Mazatlán 2-2 and a defeat with Necaxa 0-1, which forces a reaction against Pumas de la UNAM this Saturday or against the Celestial Machine the next date.
