Reports that Javier Hernandez will miss tonight’s game against Newport County are doing the rounds on social media. Fans expect Hernandez to miss out through a sickness bug.
The Mexico striker was not included in the matchday squad as West Ham travelled to Watford last Saturday. That was despite him scoring in the away game against Brighton the week before. It might be a sickness bug or it could be a minor knee injury (Football London).
Javier Hernandez out again
If Hernandez misses tonight, this could be down to illness or his knock to the knee. And it is not the first time he has been missing with a minor injury or due to sickness.
In two years with West Ham, Chicharito has only managed 63 outings, missing the odd game here and there for less-serious reasons. If he misses tonight, it would be two absences in four games this season.
West Ham fans took to Twitter to discuss speculation that Hernandez is set to miss yet another game. Here are some of the best tweets.
