Despite winning 3 points, Man Utd still suffered a heavy loss when Lisandro Martinez suffered a knee injury.
Man Utd excited fans with a 3-0 victory over West Ham at home in round 23 of the Premier League. However, the joy of the “Red Devils” was not complete.
In the 66th minute, Lisandro Martinez had a good defense close to the touchline. However, the West Ham player accidentally fell on the Argentine midfielder’s leg, causing his knee to bend in an unusual way.
Lisandro Martinez tried to get up to play, but had to leave the field after just a few minutes because he couldn’t stand the pain. This midfielder was taken straight into the tunnel with a limp leg. As expected by fans and experts, Lisandro had a knee problem.
Coach Erik ten Hag even admitted that his favorite student’s injury “looks bad”. “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 anything more than wish him a quick recovery.”
In the worst case, Licha (nickname of Lisandro Martinez) suffers damage to his ligaments. This is an injury every player dreads. It will cause the Man Utd star to miss a few months and even have to go on the operating table.
Before leaving the field, the former Ajax player stood out with impressive parameters such as an 89% passing accuracy rate, 47 touches of the ball, won disputes 5 times, cleared the ball 3 times, blocked shots 3 times with the same ratio. 100% accurate tackle rate.
