Afflicted by injuries, Javier “Chicharito” Hernández He remains Chivas del Guadalajara’s most expensive signing in the Clausura 2024 tournament, having only played 202 minutes in the five games he has seen action since his debut on matchday 8 vs. Pumas and now against the Gallos Blancos de Querétaro in the matchday 16 will add his second absent game in a row.
Without a doubt a hard blow for the aspirations of Chivas fans who hoped to see Javier Hernández Balcazar become the top offensive reference of the Guadalajara team and shouldering the team in the crucial moments of the tournament. but he barely added a goal in the aforementioned 202 minutes and scored it on date 14 vs. Puebla.
Unfortunately, muscle discomfort has not allowed him to continue that everyone expected and especially the Argentine coach Fernando Gago, who has seen how the former striker of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham United and LA Galaxy, has missed the matches against Monterrey, Pachuca and now against the White Roosters of Querétaro.
“Chicharito” did not appear in the group called for this meeting, cWith which he becomes the ninth player with the fewest minutes of activity in the Clausura 2024 tournament of the squad that the board put together for the current championship, barely surpassing players almost unnoticed by the South American coach.
In this list of nine players with the fewest minutes, “Chicharito” barely surpasses Yael Padilla with 70 minutesAlan Eduardo Torres with 67, Jesús Enrique Sánchez with 63, Carlos Cisneros with 49, Armando González 32, Gael García 19, Ronaldo Cisneros 17 and Alejandro Martínez 1, among the players with the fewest minutes of action in the championship.
Until now ‘CH14’ was not taken into account for this Saturday’s duel as the muscular discomfort starting this Thursday, because at the beginning of the week he did the work evenly with the group, But when it came to assembling the starting team, he suffered from the same ailments and for that reason the coach decided not to take him into account for the match against the “Gallos Blancos”.
Thus, Javier Hernández adds his second absent game in a row and the fourth that is not taken into account by the coaching staff since his debut on date 8 against the Pumas. Three of these absent games have been due to muscle problems and the fourth was due to stomach discomfort.
On the other hand, on the list of summoned Mateo Chávez does not appear again, who since date 12 vs. América stopped being taken into account by coach Fernando Gago, when he seemed to be the most outstanding rookie player on the Chivas squad. On the contrary, the novelty is the young man Ariel Castro, who for the second time is called to the group of summoned.
