[4]

Hernandez was first called up to the official Gibraltar senior team in February 2014 for friendlies against Faroe Islands and Estonia on 1 and 5 March 2014. [5] He made his international début for Gibraltar on 1 March 2014 in a 4–1 home loss against the Faroe Islands as a 71-minute substitute.[ citation needed ] He was called up to the Gibraltar development squad for the 2015 Island Games in June 2015.
