Javier Hernandez says he's fully healthy again after a concussion that kept him out of action with English Premier League power Manchester United. His fans in the United States didn't get to see him against the MLS All-Stars, but his followers will watch him in two friendlies with Mexico.
El Tri is in Poland on Friday and in Spain on Sept. 6 against Chile. How much Chicharito plays for coach Jose Manuel De La Torre will be watched by Man U as well.
Hernandez, 23, took a month off after the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Then in training on Man U's American tour he was concussed during a practice. It took a month for him to get his first EPL cameo on Aug. 22 against Tottenham. He also subbed in during the Reds' 8-2 blistering of Arsenal.
Being back with his Mexican teammates gives him a chance to further his return.
"It's always an honor to be called to the national team and wear the green shirt," Chicharito said this week in Poland. "I'm ready to play, I'm here. It is proof that I am one hundred percent."
As proof, Hernandez showed his sense of humor is as sharp as ever. Asked at a Man U media session this week about his favorite goal, Chicharito said it came against France in the 2010 World Cup -- gigging teammate Patrice Evra, captain of the French national team, who was sitting nearby.
