Man Utd boss Ten Hag insists he's 'said everything' on Sancho saga
Manchester United could be without Lisandro Martinez until December amid fears the £57million defender requires a second surgery this year on a debilitating foot problem. Martinez reportedly may go under the knife after missing United’s last two games in the latest significant injury blow for Erik ten Hag.
According to Sky Sports, the 25-year-old has aggravated the metatarsal injury that prematurely ended his first season at Old Trafford.
He broke the bone in April but took part across pre-season and started the 2023/24 campaign next to Raphael Varane in Ten Hag’s defence.
But Martinez’s form has been a concern, and it has now emerged that he has been carrying an issue in the opening months.
United have confirmed Martinez played through the injury in defeats to Brighton and Hove Albion and Bayern Munich after the September international break.
However, he was absent in the wins against Burnley and Crystal Palace over the last week, and his prolonged spell on the sidelines has now been confirmed.
The report claims United’s medical staff are currently assessing how to approach Martinez’s recovery, and a second operation is being considered as the most suitable play.
