A regular starter under Santiago Solari, Hernando spent the first months of the 2018–19 campaign out due to a knee injury, but still renewed his contract until 2022 on 15 November 2018.[4] The following 2 January, he joined Segunda División's Racing de Santander on loan until June.[5]
Hernando made his professional debut on 24 January 2020, coming on as a substitute for Nico Hidalgo in a 0–1 away loss against Cádiz CF.[6] He scored his first professional goal on 7 March, netting his team's second in a 2–1 win at CD Numancia.
On 14 August 2020, Hernando was loaned to fellow second division side SD Ponferradina for the season.[7] On 16 July of the following year, he moved abroad and signed a two-year contract with C.D. Tondela of the Portuguese Primeira Liga.[8]
