Manchester United has been dealt a blow with the news that both Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof have picked up injuries ahead of their Premier League clash with Chelsea on Thursday. The club confirmed this in an official statement released on Tuesday.
The statement revealed that both centre-backs will be out of action for at least a month due to muscle injuries. Victor Lindelof, the captain of the Swedish national team, was forced to withdraw during the second half of last Saturday’s Premier League game against Brentford due to a hamstring problem.
Lindelof’s replacement, Lisandro Martinez, who made his first appearance for the club since early February, has also suffered a setback. The Argentine international sustained a calf strain during training and will be unavailable for the next few games.
This injury news comes as a blow to Manchester United, as they prepare to face Chelsea, one of their top rivals in the Premier League. Both Lindelof and Martinez have been key players in the team’s defense, and their absence will be felt.
Manchester United will now have to rely on their remaining defenders to step up and fill the void left by the injured duo. It will be a challenging task, but the team will need to find a way to cope and continue their push for a top-four finish in the league.
