Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof face a setback as both defenders are sidelined for at least a month due to muscle injuries. Argentine World Cup winner Martinez has struggled with injuries throughout the season, with a recent calf problem adding to his woes. His return from a long-term knee issue was short-lived, as he sustained the injury during Saturday's draw against Brentford, where he replaced Lindelof, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury.
The absence of Martinez and Lindelof adds to the injury woes for United manager Erik ten Hag, whose second season at the helm has been marred by consistent setbacks. With key players regularly sidelined, the team's performance has been affected, leaving them in a challenging position in the Premier League standings. United currently sit sixth, trailing by 11 points from the top four with just nine games left in the season.
The defensive duo's absence also poses a concern for United's upcoming fixtures, including the crucial FA Cup semifinal clash against Coventry later this month. With Martinez and Lindelof unavailable, the team will need to rely on alternative options to fill the defensive positions and navigate through a demanding schedule as they aim to salvage their season with a strong finish.
