Four crosses Sunday
Javi Hernandez generated two shots (one on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Sevilla.
Analysis: Hernandez sent in four crosses and two shots during Sunday's draw, but only one of those six attempts was accurate. That sort of lackluster efficiency could be a severe limited for Hernandez, who will likely have to make do with limited chances against tougher opponents. Against more open opponents in the bottom half, Hernandez could have the chance to produce some strong volume.
Logs assist
Javi Hernandez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 defeat against Real Sociedad.
Analysis: Hernandez got an assist in Saturday's match but didn't do much else to generate offense for Espanyol in the 2-1 loss. The midfielder could have more openings against Sevilla, a side that conceded 60 goals in LaLiga a year ago.
Records second assist
Hernandez assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Real Madrid.
Analysis: Hernandez has started the season in strong form, recording two assists in Espanyol's first two matches. He has also contributed five key passes, two successful dribbles, and two tackles won across 157 minutes played. It's been a solid start for the midfielder, who is expected to remain a consistent attacking presence for the club.
Earns assist
Hernandez assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 3-0 win against Levante. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 68th minute.
Analysis: Hernandez would earn his first start for Espanyol on Sunday, making his debut in the season opener. He would earn a great debut performance by earning an assist, finding Roberto Fernandez in the 40th minute. The midfielder would also add three chances created, seemingly a solid young playmaker.
Back after loan spell
Hernandez is back with Espanyol after a loan spell with Mirandes in the 2025/26 season.
Analysis: Hernandez had a successful season with Mirandes, notching seven goals and three assists across 21 league appearances. He's expected to fight for a place in Espanyol's squad for the 2026/27 campaign, but if he doesn't impress in pre-season, he could be loaned out once again. The attacking midfielder is only 22 years old.
