LA Galaxy provide latest update on Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez as forward undergoes surgery

<p>

Javier Hernandez underwent a successful ACL surgery according to MLS side LA Galaxy.&nbsp; </p>

<p>

The Mexican striker, who has scored 39 goals in 82 games for the club, sustained his injury during a US Open Cup clash with Real Salt Lake. </p>

<p>

In a statement, LA Galaxy said: "Forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernández underwent a successful anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgery on his right knee. </p>

<p>

"Hernández, who was placed on the Season-Ending Injury List, will miss the remainder of the 2023 season." </p>

<p>

Considering the 35-year-old will be out of contract at the end of the season, it's possible Hernandez may have already played his final game for the Los Angeles club. </p>

<p>

According to Marca, the player is likely to return to action in his homeland of Mexico in the Liga MX. </p>

<p>

Hernandez has endured a frustrating season with LA Galaxy as the club have only won three of 17 league games in 2023. </p>

<p>

With the side second-bottom of the MLS Western Conference, it's unlikely the former powerhouse of North American soccer will feature in the end-of-season play-offs. </p>

<p>

Hernandez put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the club back in 2020 worth over $19million. </p>
