He's expected to work in with Alperen Sengun at center, though Sengun may have secured himself a starting role.

Expected to sit 2-3 weeks Fernando (knee) is expected to be sidelined for the next two-to-three weeks due to left patellar tendinitis, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact While Fernando was given a longer timetable for his return to action, it wasn't yet clear exactly how long that absence would last. Feigen suggests that he will be sidelined for the next two or three weeks, leaving Alperen Sengun (illness), Kenyon Martin and Tari Eason as the prime candidates to see extended minutes in his absence.

Will be out 'a while' Fernando (knee) will be out "a while" due to a left knee issue, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact The details are still relatively vague, but Fernando appears to be dealing with some discomfort in his left knee, which forced him out of Saturday's blowout loss to Milwaukee. Usman Garuba started that contest over Alperen Sengun (illness), so it looks as though coach Stephen Silas is going out of his way to avoid starting Sengun, who entered the year with lofty fantasy expectations. With Fernando likely to miss multiple weeks, it will be worth noting whether Silas ends up moving Sengun into the starting five at some point.

Won't play Monday vs. Utah Fernando (knee) will not play Monday against Utah.
Impact Fernando will miss a second straight game due to a sore knee, so the Rockets will likely roll with Usman Garuba as their starting center, as was the case Saturday night in Milwaukee. Coach Stephen Silas seems to be making a point to avoid starting Alperen Sengun, though the second-year big man has played 23, 27 and 22 minutes off the bench in Houston's first three games.

Out Saturday Fernando (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Impact Fernando left Friday's game early due to a sore knee, so it is not surprising that the team is exercising caution in the second night of a back-to-back set. In his absence, Alperen Sengun figures to be the prime beneficiary, but Usman Garuba and Tari Eason could also see some extra minutes in the rotation.
