Picked for bench
Hernandez (groin) is on the bench for Monday's match against Malaga.
Analysis: Hernandez was likely to be an option for Monday, and that has come to fruition, with the forward earning a spot on the bench. This is good news for the club as they add back some depth in the attack, as he was not an option for the opener. He will look to see time immediately, possibly pushing into a bigger role once fully fit.
Back available against Malaga
Hernandez (groin) trained normally and is expected to be available for Monday's match against Malaga, according to coach Antonio Hidalgo. "Hernandez trained normally and we think he'll be available tomorrow."
Analysis: Hernandez's recovery had previously been handled with extra caution given how early it was in the season. His clearance for full training now marks the clearest sign yet that he's turned the corner. It puts him in position to be included in Deportivo's squad for the visit of Malaga.
Out for the time being
Hernandez is out for the time being as his recovery continues, according to coach Antonio Hidalgo. "It's an ugly injury. Some days he feels good, others not. We're giving him all the necessary care, monitoring him very closely, and it's him who will determine his progress, his ability to handle the workload. The important thing is that he accepts it gradually and doesn't suffer"
Analysis: Hernandez's recovery is being handled with caution given it's early in the season, with manager Antonio Hidalgo saying decisions on his return will be made carefully alongside the medical staff. No specific recovery timeline has been given, with his progress dependent on how he responds day to day. Hernandez is expected to continue his recovery process as Deportivo's medical staff monitors his situation closely.
Out vs. Real Madrid
Hernandez (groin) isn't in the squad for the Teresa Herrera Trophy against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Analysis: Hernandez has yet to join group training, so it's not surprising that he's out for this clash. It seems like a long shot that he'll be available to face Elche on Monday, Aug. 17, in the 2026/27 Liga opener.
Still working apart
Hernandez continues to carry over the pubalgia issues from last season that limited a large part of his output, still not training with the team, though the club expects him to gradually rejoin during the tour without a concrete return date set, according to Eder Pereira of DXT Campeon.
Analysis: Hernandez is the biggest name Deportivo hopes to see back in action as he was a key contributor last season with 11 goals and 10 assists across 3,002 minutes in the club's promotion campaign. His individualized program has kept him separate from full training since the start of preseason, and his gradual reintegration during the upcoming trip to Germany and Italy will be closely tracked as Deportivo aims to have him ready for the August 18 LaLiga opener against Elche.
Training under specific regimen
Hernandez dealt with a sports hernia during the 2025/26 season and is training under a specific regimen to be healthy for the 2026/27 Liga opener against Elche on Aug. 18, according to La Voz de Galicia.
Analysis: Hernandez was a key player for Deportivo in the 2025/26 Liga2 campaign, tallying 11 goals and adding 10 assists across 3,002 minutes. The winger figures to be a key player for the Gallego side in their long-awaited return to Spain's top tier, so it makes sense for Deportivo to have him in a specific training regimen with the new season starting in roughly six weeks. Deportivo's first friendly match is against SD Compostela on Saturday, July 18.
Brillant attacking option for Depor
Hernandez ended the season as Deportivo La Coruna's most important attacking weapon, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists across 38 Segunda Division appearances in 3,002 minutes.
Analysis: Hernandez combines a clinical finishing touch with elite vision, averaging 1.8 key passes per 90 minutes while also carrying the ball progressively to consistently put defenders under pressure. Hernandez heads into the new season as Deportivo's most important player to face La Liga oppositions, and his performances will be central to any hopes the club have of remaining in the top flight.
