According to journalist Gaston Edul of TyC Sports (Argentina), Lisandro Martinez did not suffer a torn ligament. He will need time to recover, but this is good news as it avoids the risk of a more serious injury than initially diagnosed.
" Lisandro Martinez has a sprained lateral collateral ligament. The worst-case scenario has been ruled out. The recovery process will take one and a half to two months. He will not need surgery. This is good news ," Gaston Edul wrote on social media (formerly Twitter).
Manchester United fans can have some reason to worry. Previously, the player had an incident during the match against West Ham in the 33rd round of the Premier League. In the 66th minute, Lisandro Martinez made a good defensive play near the touchline. However, Vladimir Coufal accidentally fell on the Argentinian defender's leg, causing his knee to bend in an unusual way.
Lisandro Martinez collided with a West Ham defender before sustaining the injury.
Lisandro Martinez tried to get up and continue playing, but had to leave the field after only a few minutes due to unbearable pain. The central defender was taken straight into the tunnel limping. Lisandro had a knee problem.
Coach Erik ten Hag was very worried about his player's injury. He said: " Lisandro Martinez's situation is not good. This is really bad news for both him and the team. We really need Lisandro Martinez but we can't do more than wish him a speedy recovery ."
Meanwhile, teammate Diogo Dalot also considered the worst-case scenario for Martinez. The Portuguese player wrote: " Your pain is the pain of the whole team. You'll be back soon, my brother ."
Lisandro Martinez joined Man Utd last season. In his first season, he made 45 appearances, playing a key role in helping the Red Devils win the League Cup and finish third in the Premier League.
This season, he suffered a foot injury, limiting his contribution. However, upon his return, Lisandro Martinez immediately made an impact on the team's play thanks to his excellent ball distribution and passing abilities. Coach Erik ten Hag's team has recorded 3 wins and 1 draw since his return.
