Javier Hernandez and Alan Pulido were the two big news that were left out of the list of travelers announced by the Chivas coach, the Argentine Gabriel Milito, for the duel against Queretaro and where, on the contrary, the Mexican-American Cade Cadwell was included.

The losses of the two former World Cup players Chicharito Hernandez and Alan Pulido, see less and less participation in the great moment that Guadalajara is experiencing and undoubtedly generates a lot of time for comments, since they are two of the players for which the board invested quite a few thousands of dollars and who little by little have seen their participation in the Sacred Flock decrease.

In the case of both players, it was only officially reported that Chicharito was not taken into account to dose his physical performance, while with Alan Pulido it was only mentioned that they were tactical decisions, giving a clear example that the former player of Real Salt Lake of the Major League Soccer (MLS) lost the confidence of the coach and his hours seem counted in the Guadalajara box.

The low production of Chicharito and Pulido

It is a fact that Chivas had planned to put together a great attack with Javier Hernandez and Alan Pulido, especially due to the quality and great experience of both, especially the former striker of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham United, Sevilla and LA Galaxy, but reality caught up with both players and their experience ended up playing against them.

As an example, Alan Pulido has only played 15 games with Chivas since he returned to the team last season under the orders of the Spaniard Oscar Garcia Junyent, where his decline in performance began to the point that in the current championship he has only played five games for no more than 300 minutes on the field.

While with Javier Hernandez the issue has intensified to the maximum that it seems to be a media burden for Guadalajara, where people seem to demand the presence of the striker,but the current tournament is on track to be the worst of his time in Liga MX, following his return from the LA Galaxy.

Currently, Hernandez has 107 minutes in four games, a lower figure than the six games since his arrival in the 2024 Clausura championship, when only four games remain in the current championship and it is on track to be the last for the legendary forward who currently remains the best scorer for the Mexican national team with 52 goals.

Cade Cowell returned to the squad

Given the absences of Javier Hernandez and for the reasons already mentioned, coach Gabriel Milito decided to call up the Mexican-American who has 461 minutes in 12 games, which means the only nominal center forwards are Armando "Hormiga" Gonzalez and Teun Wilke, players who were the second option in the initial design of the red and white squad.
