Despite Alejandro Garnacho’s concerning ιnjury, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez left the Emirates Stadium with him as they prepared to fly back to Argentina for international duty. The central defender was taken out in the second half of the disheartening 3-1 loss at Arsenal, raising concerns that he may be out for some time.
Martinez is expected to join the Argentina team despite the ιnjury, however it is too soon to know the full extent of the problem.
It’s possible that he would have been treated before a decision on the forthcoming international break was made if the problem had seemed significant.
They left the Emirates together to catch a flight back to South America, so it appears United was confident he was fit to fly.
Victor was sick, therefore he had to come off,” Erik ten Hag remarked of Martinez’s defensive partner Victor Lindelof after the loss. Licha’s foot seemed to be bothering him, but I can’t sаy for sure if he was hurt. The diagnosis is pending further observation.
United’s late-season performance and record on the field suffered without Martinez’s contributions.
When he went down clutching his foot in north London on Sunday afternoon, fans were terrifieԀ for the worst. As it turned out, he had a fractured metatarsal that required surgery.
United’s defense collapsed, allowing goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus, and the hosts took all three points. Martinez, who will be evaluated by the Argentina medical team upon arrival in South America, could not continue.
Despite missing key players like Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans, who just signed a one-year contract with United, Ten Hag’s team managed to finish the game.
Both teams were lost in the final minutes of the game as Arsenal came from behind to win.
When United’s Alejandro Garnacho broke through on goal and fired home, they felt they had won the game. However, the goal was disallowed by VAR due to offside.
World Cup qualifying matches against Ecuador and Bolivia are coming up in the next 10 days, and Garnacho and Martinez will play in both barring ιnjury.
After playing host to Brighton at Old Trafford on September 16, United will head to Bayern Munich for their Champions League opener.
When the Red Devils go up against Harry Kane, a player who was once a transfer target, Ten Hag will want Martinez by his side.
The Dutchman has stated that his team has been unlucky in each of their first four Premier League games.
You wish to derive further meaning from it. We needed some good fortune to win the first game, which we did not. “Then I believe it was a penalty against Spurs and today,” he said to Sky Sports.
I can see encouraging trends, and our overall trajectory is upwards. There will be a short pause for the international break.
We know we can beаt anyone if we work hard enough, and this year is no different. The margins of victory today were very slim. If Garnacho’s shot counts, we’d be victorious.
