Chicharito misses game through injury

Javier Hernandez missed out on Mexico’s 1-0 win over Poland on Monday night through injury as he was withdrawn from the squad.

The Mexican striker appeared to have suffered a hamstring issue and was helped off the pitch after pulling up in pain on 51 minutes and was unable to continue during his country’s 3-3 draw with Belgium last week.

West Ham has remained quiet on the extent of the injury of their top earner but his absence for Mexico appears to confirm his injury and doubts will now surface about his fitness to be available for selection this Sunday as West Ham takes on Watford.

Last month Chicharito picked up a hamstring problem in training at Rush Green and was sent to the hospital for an MRI scan but the club later said it was not as bad as first feared.
