The star striker is stretchered off the field after a non-contact injury midway through the first half of a 3-2 loss, the latest setback for the club in what has already been a disappointing year.
SANDY, Utah — The Galaxy’s frustrating season suffered another setback on Wednesday night when star striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernández was stretchered off the field with a right knee injury midway through the first half of the team’s U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal loss to Real Salt Lake.
“We won’t know until we get an MRI to see where it’s at. So our fingers are crossed. But we don’t know yet what we’re dealing with,” Vanney said of Hernández, who is expected to meet with team doctors after they return to Los Angeles. “First off, Chicha is fundamental for us, not just on the field but also in the locker room,” Brugman said. “We hope it’s nothing major and that he can be back with us soon. He’s very, very important for us.”
