Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Birmingham City this weekend.
The Whites will return to action after the two-week international break on Saturday afternoon when they take on Birmingham at Elland Road in the Championship.
Bielsa has said that Hernandez, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, is part of the squad, having recovered from a muscular problem.
The Leeds head coach has also provided further injury update ahead of the match against Birmingham.
Bielsa told The Yorkshire Evening Post: “Pablo is going to be inside the group. Shackleton, Forshaw and Cooper we are going to wait a little bit more until the next week.”
The Leeds head coach added: “Out of all three Cooper will be the last one to come back to training and Shackleton will be the first. He will start to train, Cooper will be one more week.”
Regarding Hernandez, Bielsa said: “Pablo always has a big impact on our team.”
Boost for Leeds United
It remains to be seen if Hernandez starts for Leeds, but even if the 34-year-old is on the substitutes’ bench, he will be an asset for the team.
The former Valencia and Swansea City star has scored two goals and provided two assists in eight Championship appearances for Leeds so far this season, according to WhoScored.
Leeds are fifth in the Championship table at the moment with 20 points from 11 matches.
