“No explanation given”: Héctor Hernández on Corinthians axe | OneFootball

Not in the plans of coach Dorival Júnior, the striker Héctor Hernández has been training separately from the rest of the Corinthians squad since August 19th. However, on Tuesday, the center forward stated that the club did not justify his removal.

"There was no justification. But when the time comes, as I believe it will, I will speak and give explanations about everything that happened and that's it," said the striker in an interview with the Spanish newspaper Marca.

The 29-year-old Spaniard lost his place since Dorival's arrival and began training at alternate times at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. According to Gazeta Esportiva, the player was approached by two clubs, kept confidential, and is negotiating the termination of his contract with the Parque São Jorge team.

Unsatisfied with the player's performance, Corinthians intends to get rid of Héctor in this transfer window. The athlete was not even listed for any of the team's last seven games this season. He last appeared on the bench in the match against Cruzeiro, on July 23rd.

"Let's see what happens. I continue with the same motivation as always. In the end, football is like this: we are always in constant movement. Now, I have a contract with Corinthians. I am focused here and that's it. But, well, let's see what happens in this market. I am calm," he concluded.

Héctor Hernández was signed by Corinthians last year to be the immediate substitute for Yuri Alberto, but he never established himself. The black-and-white board believes that the striker did not meet expectations.

In total, there are 24 matches played by Timão, with only two goals scored and one assist. This season, he has played 19 times.

Héctor lost his place to the young Gui Negão, who came from the base, pleased Dorival in training and has been getting opportunities among the professionals. Last Saturday, in fact, the boy scored the team's only goal in the 2-1 defeat to Bahia, at Neo Química Arena.
