Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United failed to win against Middlesbrough on Saturday.
Hernandez, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, featured for Leeds in their Championship match against Middlesbrough on Saturday afternoon.
The former Swansea City did not start the match, but the 33-year-old came on as a substitute at the start of the second half, as it finished in a 1-1 draw.
Leeds head coach Bielsa has praised Hernandez, and has outlined how the Spaniard made an impact on the game.
Bielsa told Leeds Live about Hernandez: “Pablo makes the game more fluid. He has the skill to put the ball in the zone where it’s more difficult for the opponent to recover it.
“He has a very clear reading of the game. When you have games like this one, his calm and serenity help us a lot.”
