He had an MRI scan on Tuesday morning. "Chicharito suffered a fall down the stairs of his apartment on Monday night and has fractured a bone in his right hand. The Mexican was successfully operated on on Tuesday."He is also not available on Saturday and his period of absence, as well as Bender's, will be at least two weeks." Hernandez scored 17 goals in 28 Bundesliga games last season for Leverkusen and was quickly off the mark in the 2-1 DFB-Pokal win over Hauenstein.</blockquote>
