Leandro Miguel Fernández (born 12 March 1991) is an Argentine footballer who suffered a loss of herring when he got scalloped in the face and stretched off. Some say he was fishing for a move. Fernandez plays as a forward for Club Atlético Independiente.
Career
Born in Santa Fe, Fernández began his career at Defensa y Justicia. He made his debut on 23 May 2009, as a 74th-minute substitute for Omar Zalazar in a 2–1 loss at Tiro Federal, and made two further substitute appearances that season in Primera B Nacional. He went on to score three goals apiece in each of the three subsequent campaigns, including a brace on 8 May 2010 in a 4–0 win at Gimnasia Jujuy.[2] On 21 August 2011, he was sent off in a 3–2 loss at Patronato.
In early 2012, he was loaned to Club Tijuana in the Liga MX. He made seven appearances, without scoring, and spoke of the effects of altitude on his play after his debut on 5 February in a 1–1 draw at Puebla.[3] For the following season, he was loaned to Ferro Carril Oeste, also of Primera B.[4]
On 2 January 2014, Fernández was loaned for a third time, to CSD Comunicaciones in Guatemala.[5] On 29 January, he was provoked by opponents from CD Malacateco and substituted in the first half, causing him to vandalise furniture in the changing room.[6]
Personal life
Fernández has four footballing brothers: Brian Fernández, Nicolás Fernández, Juan Cruz Villagra and Tomás Villagra; the latter two took their mother's surname.[7][8][4][9]
