Chicharito avoids serious injury, returns to Leverkusen training

Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez has avoided any serious injury and has returned to Bayer Leverkusen training, the club announced on Tuesday.

Chicharito was hurt in Leverkusen's 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt over the weekend, with the Mexican international star limping off with an apparent left leg injury in the 68th minute. He is back practicing ahead of Leverkusen's key match against Schalke on Saturday, though, with the club currently occupying third place and an automatic spot in next season's Champions League.

Chicharito has been a big part of that success, with a team-leading 16 goals in league play since making the move from Manchester United last summer.

All is well and @CH14_ is back out on the training pitch!
