The defending world champion broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot and will be unable to play for at least two months, as confirmed by Manchester United. He had been injured alone against Sevilla.
The Argentinian Defender Lisandro Martinez suffered a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, a recovery that will take the world champion approximately eight to ten weeks, after being injured in the match he played with Manchester Utd in front of Seville for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the europa league.
The defender of the England team was injured only when he controlled a ball in the duel against the team of Spain for the second most important competition in Europe, and was assisted by doctors.
Finally, Martínez had to leave the field of play without being able to support his foot and was accompanied by his compatriots: Marcos “Huevo” Acuna and Gonzalo Montielof the rival team.
After the match, coach Erik ten Hag spoke about Martinez’s injury: “We’ve seen him quit after a time when no opponent was involved, so it doesn’t look good. We’re going to have to wait. I can’t say what is it, but it doesn’t look like the Achilles area”.
Although the sequence of how the world champion was injured in Qatar 2022 generated concern and uncertainty, in the end the results showed that it was milder than imagined, but that he will also have to wait for recovery and it will mean a significant drop for a defense that found its course with a high level of former Defense and Justice.
