Real Madrid striker Javier Hernandez is becoming increasingly resigned that he won't land a permanent deal.
The on-loan Manchester United forward featured in victory over Champions League opponents Ludogorets in midweek, but again failed to get on the scoresheet.
In his first seven appearances for Real, Chicharito struck four goals. However, in his last six games, the striker has failed to score.
"Chicharito has not scored, but has worked hard for the team," said Real coach Carlo Ancelotti after the 4-0 rout of Ludogorets.
But all indications are that Real will pass when it comes time to making a decision on signing Chicharito permanently.
