The LA Galaxy can't win in MLS and its chances of making the playoffs are already slim. In their last game against LAFC where they lost 2-0 on the return of Carlos Vela, Chicharito Hernandez was not even on the substitute bench due to an alleged injury to one of his feet. THE injury was not confirmed and doubts about it are growing.

The non-inclusion of Chicharito Hernadez for the game against LAFC surprised everyone at LA Galaxy. In the absence of an official report from the club, doubts began to increase as to whether or not they were injured. The only truth is that Barros Schelotto after the game said that he still did not have any study so he did not know if the injury was true or not.

Javier Hernandez complained of pain in one of his feet on Friday so he could not train but when the LA Galaxy medical team reviewed him, the specialists said that there was nothing that prohibited him from playing against LAFC. Similarly, the Mexican player decided not to play, accusing that he was not fit.

We will have to wait for the medical exams to see if Chicharito Hernandez really has a foot injury or not, but for the moment both the local media and Guillermo Barros Schelotto sowed the doubt if Hernandez was really fit to play the game against LAFC.
