Easy now with Javi Hernández | OneFootball

Javi Hernández has received good news after leaving the Spain Under-21 training camp due to muscle discomfort. The Espanyol attacking midfielder is suffering from a minor injury to the obturator muscle in his left leg, although the tendon is not affected, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The player is expected to return to training with the group at the end of this week or the beginning of next, so if the expected recovery timeline is met, he could be available for Manolo González for the next league match against Málaga on October 9.

The injury comes at a particularly positive moment for Javi Hernández. The 22-year-old has become an important player for Espanyol and has started in all seven LaLiga matches played so far. In addition, he has four assists, placing him among the competition’s top assist providers alongside Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon.

His connection with Roberto Fernández is also proving to be one of Espanyol’s main attacking weapons. Three of the striker’s six goals have come from assists by Javi Hernández.

After missing his debut with the Under-21s because of this issue, everything points to the international soon returning to Espanyol’s regular training routine with the aim of being fit for the clash at La Rosaleda.
