Diagnosed with calf injury

Hernandez (calf) has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the proximal region of his left soleus after being forced off during Saturday's La Liga clash against Barcelona, with his return to team training dependent on his recovery progress, according to the club.

Analysis: Hernandez faces an uncertain spell on the sidelines after sustaining a left calf injury during Saturday's encounter against Barcelona. The Colombian striker played 64 minutes before being substituted due to discomfort and subsequently missed Monday's training session. Medical examinations confirmed damage to the proximal portion of his left soleus muscle, although Betis have not provided a specific recovery timeline. Hernandez has been sharing playing time with Troy Parrott in the central attacking role this season, with the Colombian generally preferred in La Liga. He recently scored after coming off the bench during Wednesday's 3-2 Champions League victory over Porto, underlining his importance to the attacking rotation. Parrott now appears the leading candidate to take over starting duties during Hernandez's absence, while the latter's availability for upcoming fixtures will depend on the severity of the injury and his rehabilitation progress.

Scores off bench in victory

Hernandez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over FC Porto.

Analysis: Hernandez made an immediate impact after replacing Troy Parrott, converting Antony's cutback with a precise finish to bring Betis level at 2-2. The striker was making his first Champions League appearance of the season and scored his first goal in the competition this campaign. Hernandez has been rotating with Parrott in the central attacking role across competitions, although the Colombian appears to be the preferred starter in La Liga. His decisive contribution off the bench could strengthen his case for additional Champions League minutes.
