Leeds United attacking midfielder Pablo Hernandez has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that he hopes to be back in action in next week or two.

Hernandez, who can also operate as a winger, has been on the sidelines since last month.

The 34-year-old former Swansea City and Valencia star has missed Leeds’s last five Championship games with a calf problem.

Hernandez told The Yorkshire Evening Post: “I try to push in the training ground to come back as soon as possible.

“I know that the most important thing is if I come back it is at 100 per cent to help the team. I’m working hard. I hope in the next week or next two weeks I can get ready to play for the club.”

Positive news for Leeds United

Hernandez has not been in great form this season, but the Spaniard is one of the best and most creative players in the Championship.

With Leeds aiming to finish in the top two of the Championship table this season and clinch automatic promotion to the Premier League, the Spaniard will have a big role to play for the Whites.

According to WhoScored, Hernandez has scored two goals and provided two assists in eight Championship appearances for the Whites so far this season.

During the 2018-19 campaign, the Spaniard made 39 starts and two substitute appearances in the league for Leeds, scoring 12 goals and providing 12 assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
