Man United has been plagued by a string of injuries throughout the entirety of the current season. Sunday was the day that things did not improve at all.
Old Trafford was the venue for the Premier League match between the team headed by Erik ten Hag and West Ham, which they won 3-0. The fact that Lisandro Martinez hobbled off the field just after the hour mark, on the other hand, was terrible for the game.
An injury had kept the Argentine defender out of action for a period of four months, and he was now participating in his fourth career game. After getting into a confrontation with West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal while he was sitting on the bench, it was obvious that he was suffering from a serious injury.
After suffering yet another injury setback, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez, who is 26 years old, breaks his quiet and delivers an impassioned message to the fans of Manchester United.
At first, it was believed that the 26-year-old had suffered an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament, which would have prevented him from playing for the remainder of the season and for the majority of the summer.
It is fortunate for Martinez and United that the back injury only resulted in a sprain of the medial collateral ligament in Martinez’s knee. It is estimated that he will be unable to play for approximately eight weeks, rather than eight months.
Martinez wrote a heartfelt message to his legion of devoted followers twenty-four hours after he sustained an injury. In the message, he expressed how frustrating things are for him.
Martinez posted a picture of himself on Instagram along with the following caption: “I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support I’ve received and reassure you that I’ll soon be back out there, and we’ll fight together.” Martinez’s post was accompanied with a picture of himself.There is always one!
Martinez’s absence is still a significant setback for United’s season, despite the fact that the majority of the injury news was positive.
When the center defender was absent from the field for a period of four months and Ten Hag did not have any suitable substitutes, United’s performance in recent games has been far better than it was during that time.
Both this weekend’s match against Aston Villa and the match against Manchester City that will take place the following month will be performed without United’s most vital defender. Additionally, Martinez will not be present for the FA Cup fifth round encounter that will take place this month.
If he does return after the international break in March, there is a possibility that he will be able to participate in the match against Brentford on March 30. Following that, it is possible that he will be able to play opposing Chelsea and Liverpool.
