Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez will not start for Bayer Leverkusen when they host newly promoted Darmstadt at the weekend, his coach Roger Schmidt has said.

Hernandez, 27, joined Leverkusen from Manchester United on a three-year contract this summer for a reported fee of £8.75 million.

His arrival has been warmly received by a number of the club's current squad, including captain Lars Bender, and also the fans.

The supporters will, however, have to wait a little longer to see the Mexico international in Bundesliga action as he is set to be on the bench against Darmstadt on Saturday.
