The 27-year-old was taken to hospital after a clash with Brayan Beckeles during Mexico's final Gold Cup warm-up match and will now be sidelined for at least four weeks
Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has been ruled out for at least four weeks after surgery to repair a broken collarbone, the Mexican Football Federation have confirmed.
Hernandez was taken to hospital after a first-half clash with Honduras defender Brayan Beckeles during Mexico's final Gold Cup warm-up match sent him tumbling to the floor, leaving him clutching his shoulder and signalling to the bench.
Further examination revealed the striker had fractured his collarbone and he underwent successful surgery that will sideline him for the entirety of Mexico's Gold Cup campaign as well as the start of United's pre-season.
Hernandez's United future is in doubt after spending last season on loan at Real Madrid, and Goal understands he will seek talks to clarify his Old Trafford future once he returns to pre-season training and wants a final decision made before Louis van Gaal's men embark on their tour of the USA.
The 27-year-old has scored 40 goals in 74 appearances for Mexico, making him the second most-prolific goal-scorer in his country's history behind Jared Borgetti (46).
