Who is Abel Hernández?

Abel Mathías Hernández Platero is a Uruguayan soccer player who plays as a striker for Club Atlético de San Luis of Liga MX and who yesterday led his team to victory over the powerful Club América.

The player has been an international with the Uruguayan national soccer team, with which he participated in the 2014 World Cup.

Where and when was Abel Hernández born?

The lethal Uruguayan striker was born in Pando, Uruguay on August 8, 1990, so he is currently 31 years old. 

The player only arrived last December 2021 to Liga MX and upon his arrival, he confessed that he came to Mexican soccer driven by the success that players from his country have had in Mexican soccer. 

According to his words, "Mexican soccer is very dynamic, for my position that is important, that it is dynamic. Seeing that many Uruguayan strikers are doing well in this league helped me choose to come here". 

In which other teams have Abel Hernández played before coming to Liga MX?

The player began his professional career with Peñarol of Uruguay, where he was unable to fully develop his career due to a heart condition that he has since overcome. 

Later, in 2009, he joined Palermo, sharing the attacking duo with Edinson Cavani and Fabrizio Miccoli.

After Cavani was transferred to Napoli in the 2010 summer transfer market, the starting center forward position became vacant, and Hernandez took the opportunity to start the new season as a starter.

Then in 2014, he would be signed by Hull City of the Premier League of England in exchange for 12 000 000 euros, where he would play 110 games in which he scored 39 goals and provided 10 assists. 

With these numbers and at the end of his contract with Hull City, he would join CSKA Moscow for three seasons.

He would later join Al-Ahli Doha of Qatar and then SPORT CLUB INTERNACIONAL of Brazil, and then Fluminense Football Club of the same country, before arriving in Liga MX. 

Undoubtedly, his most productive period was with Hull City, but from what he has shown in Mexican soccer, this veteran still has many goals to score.
