EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United’s defender Lisandro Martinez will miss the remainder of the season due to a fractured metatarsal bone in his foot.
The English Premier League club confirmed the news, which comes as a major setback to their hopes of ending the season on a strong note.
Martinez suffered the injury during Manchester United’s Europa League game against Sevilla at Old Trafford. The 23-year-old has been a standout performer for the team this season, impressing with his displays and earning the trust of manager Erik ten Hag.
The Argentine’s absence will be felt keenly by Manchester United’s defense, as he has been a regular starter this season, and even kept club captain Harry Maguire on the bench in some games.
However, the club remains optimistic that Martinez will make a full recovery in time for the start of the next season. Manchester United’s fans will be hoping that the defender comes back stronger than ever, given his crucial contribution to the team’s success this season.
The injury to Martinez is a major blow to Manchester United’s ambitions of finishing in the top four of the Premier League and making progress in the Europa League.
However, with several talented defenders at his disposal, including Maguire and Victor Lindelof, Ten Hag will be looking to cover for the Argentine’s absence and finish the season on a high.
Furthermore, Martinez’s injury could provide an opportunity for other players in the squad to step up and prove their worth. Nonetheless, there is no doubt that Manchester United will miss the impact of the talented defender on the pitch.
The news of Martinez’s injury comes as a disappointment for Manchester United’s fans, who have been impressed by his performances this season.
However, they will be hopeful that the team can continue to perform well despite the setback and end the season on a positive note.
