The surprising recovery that striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernández has had has caused the plans of the Guadalajara “Chivas” coaching staff to change and instead of contemplating their debut for the game on date 10 of Clausura 2024 against Cruz Azul sIt could happen this Saturday against the UNAM “Pumas” on matchday 8.

Javier Hernández, as everyone knows, suffered a rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that kept him away from the field for almost eight months, but due to the will and efforts of the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham United, Sevilla and LA Galaxy, by recovering from this serious injury, have generated an amazing recovery.

The striker who emerged from the red and white quarry since his return to Mexico when his signing with “Chivas” was announced, has been training separately along with Carlos Cisneros, who is also recovering from the same injury as his colleague.

However, in the middle of this week, Javier Hernández had permission to train with the first team, causing Argentine coach Fernando Gago to confirm that he was very advanced in his rehabilitation to the point that he gave the green light to his call-up for the game against the “Pumas.” .

The official news was announced through the call that Club Deportivo Guadalajara shared on its social networks, which implies that at least it will appear on the bench in this important duel against the UNAM team.

Obviously the option of his return to the fields after his long absence and the contractual conflict he had with the LA Galaxy has raised great expectations for this Saturday’s match against the cats where the recovery of the Guadalajara team is expected.

It should be noted that Guadalajara has lost its way in the last two games with a 2-2 draw at Mazatlán and a 0-1 defeat against Necaxa, which has once again placed question marks on the true level of the “Sacred Flock.” .

So “Chicharito” could be the change of direction that the Jalisco team requires to recover from this slip of results that they have had in the last two days.
