A new update
on the Argentine centre-back's injury has confirmed that he does not have an
ACL injury and will not have to undergo surgery, according to Reporters.
Lisandro
Martinez was injured in
the Red Devils' 3-0 victory over West Ham, the Argentine had
to be substituted and Erik ten Hag told the press
conference that the injury did not look good.
According
to an injury update from
Argentinian broadcaster 'Reporters Sport', Martinez will
not have to undergo surgery as expected and an ACL injury has been
ruled out.
Manchester
United later released a statement confirming the news. "Lisandro Martinez has
sustained an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his
knee and is expected to be out of action for at least eight
weeks. We all wish Licha a speedy recovery and look
forward to seeing him back on the pitch later in the season," said
the club in a statement.
The centre-back
could potentially return for the final seven Premier League
matches of the season and the latter stages of the FA Cup. The player
has not been having good luck in his time at Old Trafford with
injuries and just when it looked like he was becoming available to
help the team again and Ten Hag was giving him playing time, he has suffered
a further setback that will keep him on the sidelines for a
while.
