Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez has stressed he cannot take any pleasure from the absence of Lionel Messi in Tuesday's Champions League encounter with Barcelona.
The Argentina international famously netted five times against Leverkusen last time the sides met in Europe, but he will miss Tuesday's match due to a knee problem that will keep him out of action for up to two months.
Nevertheless, Hernandez saw no reason to celebrate Messi's absence as he feels sad to see a fellow professional sustain a serious injury.
"Messi's injury? It can't be good to celebrate any injury. There's nothing more important than your health," Hernandez told Marca.
"In life and in any profession what we all want is to be healthy. 'Bad luck', I thought when it happened. It's always bad when a player gets injured.
