His performances with El Tri this summer may not have been as shining as expected, but that didn't matter to Bayer Leverkusen's supporters.
Mexican striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernández returned to the team's training sessions after his disappointing stint with El Tri. Hernández was expected to lead the green-and-white side to Copa América Centenario glory, but the team was thumped out of the competition by Chile, who handed them a historic 7-0 defeat.
Bayer Leverkusen's social media accounts celebrated Chicharito's comeback by posting a video on their Twitter feed.
