Bayer Leverkusen sriker Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is out for at least two weeks after breaking his hand falling down the stairs at his house.
Really.
Blow for #Leverkusen! @CH14_ out for 2 weeks and misses start of the season.

Hernandez has only played in one competitive game so far this season, but he scored in it and looked to be building on his good form from last season.
Chicharito is also a member of the Mexico National Team, and will likely miss El Tri's upcoming September World Cup qualifiers. Mexico have already qualified for the 'Hex', so, fortunately, these qualifiers don't really mean anything.
Bottom line: Chicharito is only allowed to live in one-story houses from now on.
