LA Galaxy have confirmed that club captain Javier Hernandez has suffered a serious knee injury.
Hernandez suffered the injury playing for Galaxy against Real Salt Lake in the US Open Cup on Wednesday. Galaxy - four-time MLS Cup winner - lost the game 3-2 to exit the competition at the quarter-final stage.
The 35-year-old suffered the injury midway through the first half of the contest with the score 1-0 to Salt Lake at the time. As Hernandez took control of the ball on the edge of the penalty area, he collapsed to the floor with no contact from an opposition player and was in clear distress.
