Lisandro Martinez will not play again this season due to injury

The injury of the Argentine happened in the match with “Seville”, which ended with the score 2:2, in the first match of the 1/4 finals of the Europa League.

Also, United will not be able to rely on the services of fellow defender Raphael Varane in the next few weeks. The Frenchman, like Martinez, is currently injured.

“Everyone at Manchester United wishes Lisandro and Rafa a speedy recovery,” the club said in a statement on its official website.

Lisandro Martinez arrived at Manchester United in July 2022 from Ajax Amsterdam and has made 27 Premier League appearances with the Old Trafford side.

Manchester United are 4th in the league with 56 points and are level with Newcastle, the group on the last step of the podium.
