Javi Hernández: 'I had to leave to play' for Mirandés

RCD Espanyol midfielder Javi Hernández returns to Mirandés to fight for salvation in Segunda División. After recovering from a fracture in July, the young talent has been crucial, netting four goals and providing one assist in seven appearances.

"Manolo told me I had to leave to play," admitted Hernández. He believes confidence has been the key to his recent success, stating that the experience in Huesca prepared him well for his second loan spell.
