For the second consecutive week, Chicharito suffered an injury in a Manchester United game, a 1-1 English Premier League draw at Stoke City.
Hernández, who was forced out of United's 4-1 romp over Chelsea with a bruised shin last week, went to the sidelines in the 11th minute.
Ferguson, who did not have extensive comments about the injury after the match, bolted out of the dugout, claiming that Jonathan Woodgate's challenge on the Mexican standout was a penalty kick in the third minute. Hernández was replaced by veteran striker Michael Owen with what some media termed "a dead leg." Ferguson reportedly said it was not a dead leg.
Hernández and scoring partner Wayne Rooney, who also was injured, will miss United's home UEFA Champions League game against FC Basel (Switzerland) on Tuesday.
Despite the run of unfortunate injuries, Chicharito should be ready to go for Manchester United for their next matchup against Norwich City.
