Lisandro Martínez, Manchester United’s Argentine center-back, suffered a major knee injury in today’s Premier League game against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. Martínez had to be helped off the ground in clear agony in the second half following the event.
The damage occurred in a confrontation with Ismaila Sarr, forward for Crystal Palace. Martínez’s right foot seemed to snag in the grass, causing a strange landing that immediately hurt him. Six minutes later, he was taken off feeling visibly distressed as medical personnel quickly handled him on the pitch.
This especially discouraging for Martínez, who has suffered serious injuries before whilst playing at Old Trafford. Notably, he had a broken metatarsal in his opening season that kept him out for many months.

For us, both off and on the field, it is a serious impact. We will need additional evaluations to ascertain the complete range of possibilities, but it doesn’t seem promising.
With Jean-Philippe Mateta of Crystal Palace finding both goals in the second half, the match itself ended in a 2-0 defeat for Manchester United. United’s seventh home loss of the season leaves them in 13th place in the English Premier League.

Martínez’ recuperation has yet to be officially forecast by the club. More thorough medical exams are anticipated during the next few days to establish the precise type and extent of the wound. Fans and teammates alike would want a fast and full recovery.
Messages like “Stay strong, Lisandro!” and “Get well soon, Licha!” are saturating different social media channels as followers offer their sentiments. The general feeling underlines the great respect Manchester United group has for Martínez.
The team will concentrate on changing the defensive formation to make up for Martínez&’s lack as it prepares for next games. With possible alternatives including Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane stepping into more prominent positions, Manager Ruben Amorim aims to reorganize his defense.
The club will update on Lisandro Martínez’s status when further information is known. Meanwhile, the thoughts of everybody related to Manchester United are with Lisandro and hoping him a rapid
