Chivas Welcomes Back Javier Hernández for Crucial Match Against Pumas

Enhancing Chivas’ Roster: Javier Hernández Returns for Pumas Clash

Javier Hernández Boosts Chivas Ahead of Crucial Match

Guadalajara’s squad is set to face Pumas UNAM in the much-anticipated Jornada 12 in Mexico City. As Chivas heads to the capital, they bring pivotal updates regarding their lineup, including the return of Javier Hernández, also known as ‘Chicharito’.

Hernández, who had been sidelined after a match against Toluca, missed victories against Necaxa and Puebla. His return adds depth to Chivas’ offensive strategies alongside Armando González, Teun Wilke, and Alan Pulido.

Key Players Make a Return to Chivas’ Lineup

Chivas is not only reinforced by Hernández but also welcomes back other key players. Daniel Aguirre, who has been healing from a muscle injury since late August, is fit to rejoin the defensive lineup.

Meanwhile, Bryan González, who experienced a minor ankle sprain recently, is also fit and included in Gabriel Milito’s squad. These inclusions boost the team’s chances as they prepare to face the formidable Pumas at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario.

Challenges Remain with Player Absences

Despite these positive returns, Chivas continues to face injury challenges. Roberto Alvarado remains absent due to an ankle sprain, having been sidelined from both national team duties and league matches. His potential return post-FIFA dates is anticipated when Chivas meets Mazatlán.

Moreover, Alan Mozo is recovering from recent knee surgery. The team is cautious with Erick Gutiérrez, who has been struggling with muscle issues since the Clásico Nacional in September. Though he has been training, the coaching staff opts not to risk his early return to play.
