Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez is anticipated to return quickly, despite concerns regarding his injury sustained at Old Trafford. Martinez was forced to leave the pitch during Sunday’s 3-0 Red Devils triumph over West Ham. Just before their next Premier League match against Aston Villa, United manager Erik ten Hag gave a negative perspective regarding the player’s status after the game.
“It doesn’t seem encouraging, and there are a lot of concerns, so I can’t give a clear evaluation. To ascertain the severity of the damage, we must wait for the diagnostic in the upcoming days. We’re working hard to get a precise diagnosis and evaluate the harm,” he said.
He is deeply dissatisfied and saddened. We all feel a great deal of empathy for him. When things get this bad, it’s first and foremost a personal tragedy. We must, however, wait to learn the details of the case.
“But it’s also a significant blow for the team because he undoubtedly contributes a lot.”
Since then, Martinez has received a message of support from teammate Diogo Dalot. “We feel your anguish, too. My brother, you’ll be back soon,” he wrote in an Instagram story.
After their FA Cup midweek rematch against Chelsea, Villa will host United at Villa Park in the next Premier League game on Sunday.
