Javier Hernandez's former club doctor has warned Manchester United that the striker could have a long-term neurological condition.
The Mexican sensation is currently sidelined for two weeks, after suffering a mild concussion when he was hit on the back of the head by a ball during a training session.
However, Rafael Ortega, the doctor at Hernandez's old club Chivas de Guadalajara, has revealed that the 23-year-old suffered from severe migraines as a teenager - and fears that both issues could be linked to a brain condition that would warrant further examination.
Ortega said : "I remember in his time as a youth player at Chivas he suffered from acute migraines,".
"Originally it manifested itself as a headache but afterwards the symptoms disappeared. We had some studies done on him but that was six years ago and he has done well since.
"I don't know if there is a connection between the two situations. I'm not up to date with the current situation, we would have to speak to a neurologist.
"I don't know if this will affect him in the future but I'm sure United will send him to a specialist and the situation will be resolved."
