Martinez and Varane Were Substituted Amid the Man United Injury Crisis Following the Sevilla Match
Posted : 18 April 2023
Varane was replaced at halftime, while Martinez was later stretchered off. With Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Scott McTominay, Alejandro Garnacho, and Donny van de Beek already out due to injury, Sevilla scored two late goals as United crumbled in the last 10 minutes. Ten Hag now has a difficult time choosing a team for the trip to
Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Ten Hag disputed that Martinez had ruptured his Achilles, although Martinez appeared quite uncomfortable as he departed the field.
"It is not the area, I can't tell [what it is] but it is not the area of achilles," said Ten Hag.
"I think he will not play on Sunday. It looks like that but I can't say what the diagnosis is and I prefer to wait and say what it is. We have very good replacements with
Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw so we have players who can replace them [Martinez and Varane] but of course it is a miss."
Marcel Sabitzer scored twice for United against Sevilla in the first 20 minutes as Ten Hag's men gained control of the match.
Tyrell Malacia and Maguire both scored tragic own goals in the final six minutes of a poor second half, giving the Spanish team the advantage going into the second leg in Spain the following week.
After the game, Ten Hag was compelled to defend his changes, and he admitted that Bruno Fernandes and Antony had to go since they were both in risk of getting dismissed with the score at 2-0.
