Javier Hernandez injury fears eased

Hernandez injury fears eased

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez should be back in training tomorrow, according to his agent.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson had claimed that the Mexican striker could be out of action for two weeks after being caught by a late challenge from Ashley Cole during United's 3-1 victory over Chelsea.

However, Eduardo Hernandez has now revealed that his client suffered "just a bump" from the incident with Cole.

"Nothing, it's just a bump, nothing more," said Eduardo Hernandez. "It looked like his absence was longer, they were looking for a fracture, that's why they ran those tests on him.

"I expect him to be training without incident on Wednesday."

The Football Association yesterday confirmed that Cole would not receive any further punishment for the tackle.
