Man Utd: Erik Ten Hag Discloses Marcus Rashford, Raphael Varane, And Lisandro Martinez Could Not Be Available for Sevilla's Second Leg

Posted : 18 April 2023
In the last 10 minutes of the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal match against Sevilla on Thursday night, Manchester United blew a 2-0 lead, ruining a magnificent Old Trafford evening.

The Red Devils' predicament worsened when it emerged that their two starting center backs, Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, were doubtful for the second leg in Andalusia on next Thursday due to significant injuries.

Varane was substituted after the first half, although Martinez needed assistance getting off the field after collapsing on the ground without any teammates around. Even though Ten Hag was unable to ascertain the exact nature of their injuries, he didn't appear very concerned and asserted that his team had capable substitutes.

"When Licha Martinez drops out with no opponent involved, it doesn't look that great. I cannot tell what it is but it is not achilles. No that is not the area. Rapha [Varane] was injured. We have very good replacements [for Licha] with Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw, so we have players who can replace them. But of course, it is a miss," he told BT Sport after the match.

"I think he [Martínez] will not play on Sunday. It looks like that but I can’t say what is the diagnosis and I prefer to wait and then we are clear and we know exactly what it is. I have spoken with him [Martínez], he is okay, he is calm. Of course and we compete in three competitions and then you need a squad. So if Licha Martínez, Rapha Varane are not available on Sunday then others have to do it," he stated.

Martinez needed assistance leaving the field after collapsing to the ground without any teammates around, while Varane was removed from the game after the first half.

Ten Hag did not appear very concerned and stated that his team had capable replacements, despite the fact that he was unable to ascertain the exact extent of their injuries.
