Impact Hernandez has missed Columbus' last five MLS games after suffering a knee injury in mid-March, but Nancy is hopeful that he will be able to return to action "soon." He will likely be an option off the bench in his first few games back with the team before attempting to take back the starting spot up front from Christian Ramirez.

Impact Hernandez has been out for a month already with a knee injury, and he will likely miss a few more games still before he's ready to return. Backup striker Christian Ramirez has scored three goals from 12 shots (five on target) in his three starts up front in Hernandez's absence.

Impact Hernandez suffered a knee injury against the Red Bulls on March 18th, but has been recovering and should begin individual training within the next coming weeks. With Jacen Russell-Rowe and Christian Ramirez performing well, there is no need for the team to rush his return.

Ruled out 3-5 weeks Hernandez is expected to miss 3-5 weeks due to a knee injury, Columbus manager Wilfried Nancy told reporters on Wednesday.

Impact Hernandez already missed last weekend's defeat against the Red Bulls with this injury, and he'll now be sidelined until mid-April at the earliest as the Crew want to be very cautious with his recovery. Alexandru Matan took his place up front against New York, but this will also mean increased opportunities along the attacking line for Yaw Yeboah, Jacen Russell-Rowe, Kevin Molino (knee) and Christian Ramirez (foot) until Hernandez can return.

Out with knee injury Hernandez was not involved in Saturday's defeat against the Red Bulls due to knee pain, Bailey Johnson of the Columbus Dispatch reported before the game.

Impact Hernandez has taken 13 shots (two on target) and recorded one assist from six chances created through three matches to begin the 2023 campaign, but he missed out against New York with some knee issues. Yaw Yeboah replaced him in the attacking line Saturday with Alexandru Matan sliding up to center forward, but Hernandez will hope to be available again by next weekend's clash with Atlanta United.

Takes five shots in draw Hernandez took five shots (none on target), created two chances and had three inaccurate crosses in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Toronto FC.

Impact Hernandez led the team in shots with five Saturday, but failed to get a single one on target. He now has taken 11 shots in his past two matches with just one finding the target. Still, his ability to get into spaces and take shots is a skill in and of itself, so it likely won't be long until he starts finding the back of the net like he did last season. He also created two chances and whipped in three crosses (all inaccurate), so he is still showcasing his creative ability after recording an assist last Saturday versus D.C. United.

Assists in win Hernandez recorded one assist on three chances created, took six shots (one on target) and had one cross (accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 win versus D.C.

Impact Hernandez recorded his first goal contribution of the season Saturday, as he found Lucas Zelarayan in the 10th minute for the opening goal of the game. It was one of three chances he created in the match, to go along with his team-high six shots (one on target). He also whipped in one accurate cross and won his lone tackle attempted in his full 90 minutes of action.

Two shots in loss Hernandez took two shots (one on target), created one chance and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 4-1 loss as Philadelphia.

Impact Hernandez had a slow game for his standards Saturday, as he took just two shots in the match. Last season for the Crew he had just one match with fewer than three shots, a match he played just 28 minutes in. He did create one chance in the match though, and his 28th minute shot was deflected into the back of the net by Philadelphia defender Jakob Glesnes. After scoring nine goals in just 16 MLS appearances last season, Hernandez may be slated for more in his first full MLS campaign.

Takes seven shots in loss Hernandez took seven shots (three on target) and won two of two tackles in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Orlando City.

Impact Hernandez was as active as ever Sunday as Columbus searched for a result that would clinch a spot in the playoffs, but it wasn't meant to be for the player or the team against Orlando. Still, Hernandez has electrified the league since joining up from Watford in the summer, with nine goals and two assists in 16 MLS appearances (14 starts) up top for the Crew. He averaged 6.1 shots (2.1 on target) per 90 minutes, and he'll only want to improve heading into his first full campaign in 2023.

Takes six shots in draw Hernandez took six shots (one on target) and created two chances in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Charlotte FC. He also made two clearances in the match.

Impact Hernandez returned from a yellow card suspension Wednesday and was active as ever going forward despite not getting on the scoresheet versus Charlotte. He's averaging 5.8 shots (1.8 on target) per start in MLS this season.

Suspended against NYRB Hernandez is suspended for Saturday's clash with NYRB, per Bailey Johnson of dispatch.com.

Impact Hernandez is ruled out for Saturday's clash through suspension for using offensive language. The forward is one of the most crucial players for the Crew with nine goals and two assists in just 13 starts and will be extremely difficult to replace. Kevin Molino is one possible replacement with Yaw Yeboah being another option, though neither are conventional central strikers. Hernandez will return for the regular season finale against Orlando City.

Takes seven shots in draw Hernandz took seven shots (one on target) and created two chances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against the Timbers.

Impact Hernandez will regret his lack of clinical finishing as his side was pegged back in stoppage time for a draw on Sunday. His 76 shots since debuting for Columbus back in July lead MLS by a distance (second place Julian Carranza has taken just 53). But only 26 have been on target (34.2 percent), which is the second-worst percentage among the top-10 shooters in the league in that span. Of course he does have nine goals as well (34.6 percent of his shots on target).

SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Finds net in loss Cucho Hernandez scored one goal to go with seven shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and two chances created in Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Inter Miami CF.

Impact Hernandez has been on an outstanding run since arriving to the MLS in July. This is his ninth goal in 14 games. He loves to take his chances in front of the net with 25 shot (7 on target) in the last four games. The Colombian has also been a big playmaker in the striker role with two assists and six chances created in four games.

Impact Hernandez scored a goal using assists by both Will Sands and Luis Diaz. The striker possesses eight goals across that many games he has played since signing with Columbus. Currently, there are few MLS fantasy options as appealing as he is right now.

Scores in draw with Colorado Cucho Hernandez scored a goal on six shots (two on target), sent in two inaccurate crosses and created one scoring chance Saturday in Columbus's 1-1 draw with the Colorado Rapids.

Impact Hernandez didn't waste much time in getting the scoring started Saturday, as he volleyed home a well-placed Pedro Santos cross in the fifth minute to put Crew up 1-0. Cucho and midfielder Lucas Zelarayan have combined to form an excellent one-two punch in Columbus, and they'll likely walk away from Saturday's hard-fought draw in Colorado feeling positive. Crew will have some time to rest before facing Atlanta United next Sunday.

Scores opener in win Hernandez scored a goal off five shots (two on target) and created two chances during Saturday's 3-2 win over New York City FC.

Impact Hernandez was one of the best players on the pitch here. In the 20th minute, he stepped into the box to send the ball into the far post and draw things level at 1-1. The forward also came very closing from scoring another goal at least twice during the first half and made a very dangerous offensive trio with Lucas Zelarayan and Luis Diaz. With five gpals in six appearances since joining Columbus in June, Hernandez will try to keep adding to his tally during next Saturday's visit to Colorado.
