WChivas are fighting for a place in the play-offs, but Javier Hernández has been embroiled in fresh controversy after being fined by the coaching staff for refusing to take part in activities with the rest of his group, and left out of the squad for the game against Pachuca, which is key to Gabriel Milito’s side’s future.
This is not the first time that Chicharito Hernandez has been controversial in this competition, first due to his poor level of play, then due to injuries, but to this we must also add the controversial video in which he even received a financial penalty from the Mexican Football Federation for refusing to take part in the team dynamics one game before the end of the regular phase.

Javier Chicharito Hernandez receives financial penalty
Last Friday, ahead of Guadalajara’s final preparations for the game against Pachuca, coaching staff and players took part in a huge campaign in which everyone, including kitmen and staff, had to arrive at the Lebao facility in costume. Players such as Armando “Hormiga” Gonzalez, Isaac Brizuela and Roberto “Piojo” Alvarado all arrived in Halloween costumes, with the exception of Chicharito.
Javier Hernández was the only player who refused to come in costume for training, which automatically resulted in him being fined financially. Club insiders say the amount is virtually miniscule compared to Chicharito’s income, but the fact is that he has caused yet another awkward moment, with some saying the board is counting down the days until his contract ends.
When will “Chicharito” Hernandez’s contract with Chivas end?
Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez’s return to Chivas for the Clausura 2024 is still fresh in our minds, but since then he has been more concerned with injuries, poor performance and controversy than goals. His contract expires in December this year, but the board has no intention of renewing his contract, and it is known that the player’s plans are to leave Liga MX and look for a team in the Football Championship, with reports claiming that he has two offers and will also be able to be close to children living in the country.
