LA Galaxy star Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández will miss at least the rest of the season after he tore his ACL in his right knee, the team announced on Friday.
, there are fears that the injury could be career-ending for Hernández. His contract with the Galaxy is set to expire at the end of the season. He initially signed a three-year deal with the club in 2020 that paid him more than $19.4 million. A performance clause in his contract last season automatically triggered a fourth season and guaranteed him $7.4 million, which made him the third-highest paid player in Major League Soccer.
Hernández went down in the 24th minute of the Galaxy’s 3-2 loss to Real Salt Lake in the U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday night. He received an open pass on an attack and his right leg just crumbled a few steps later — which sent him falling straight down to the pitch in pain. He immediately waved over training staff, and he was eventually stretchered off.
