MU continues to receive bad news ahead of their match against Chelsea, as their list of casualties welcomes new names.
The official MU website recently announced that center-back Lisandro Martinez will continue to be sidelined due to ιnjury. The Argentine player suffered a muscle strain during a training session, and it is expected that he will take at least a month to recover.
In addition, another MU defender, Victor Lindelof, has also been confirmed to be out for at least a month due to a knee ιnjury sustained in the match against Brentford. Apart from Martinez and Lindelof, five other MU players are also certain to be absent from the upcoming match against Chelsea in Matchday 31 of the Premier League, with some of them even missing the English derby against Liverpool. Meanwhile, Varane is also uncertain to continue playing due to persistent head injuries.
Lisandro Martinez only returned to the pitch in the match against Brentford after a 2-month ιnjury layoff. The Argentine defender has missed a significant part of this season due to various injuries. Martinez’s absence has contributed to the instability and vulnerability of MU’s defense, easily being breached. With only Maguire remaining as the sole reliable player, the hopes of securing a spot in next season’s Champions League for the Red Devils are becoming more fragile than ever.
