Lisandro Martinez’s Foot Injury Raises Concerns at Wolves
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has raised concerns after being spotted with his foot bandaged during the team’s recent 4-3 win against Wolves. The Argentine player appeared to injure his left foot during the match at Molineux.
Martinez was seen receiving treatment in the away dugout after being withdrawn from the game by manager Erik ten Hag. Fans noticed a member of the United medical team bandaging up his left foot, indicating a potential injury. This news comes as a concern following Martinez’s recent return to action after being sidelined since September with a foot injury.
The World Cup winner has been limited to just nine appearances this season due to his injury woes. The Red Devils are already without fellow defenders Tyrell Malacia and Victor Lindelof, who are currently working on their comebacks in training. In addition, Anthony Martial, Mason Mount, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka remain sidelined with their respective injuries.
Martinez’s potential setback has caused worry among fans, with one expressing concern on social media, stating, “This doesn’t look good.” Another fan simply responded with a crying emoji.
The defender’s return to the team had been seen as a potential turning point for United’s season under manager Erik ten Hag. Supporters praised Martinez’s dominant display in the recent draw against Tottenham, which was his first appearance since returning from injury.
Since joining Manchester United from Ajax last summer, the 26-year-old has made 53 appearances for the club, scoring once. His presence on the pitch has been missed during his time on the sidelines, and his return was hoped to bring stability and strength to the team’s defense.
It remains to be seen how serious Martinez’s foot injury is and how long it will keep him out of action. Manchester United will be hoping for a quick recovery as they continue their campaign in various competitions.
