Martinez, Lindelof Deal Man Utd Fresh Injury Blow

Muscle injuries have kept Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez, two Manchester United defenders, out of the game for at least a month.

Martinez, the World Cup winner for Argentina, has had a devastating season due to injuries.

While substituting for a long-term knee injury on Saturday in the 1-1 draw against Brentford, the former Ajax player had a calf problem.

After Lindelof sustained a hamstring injury, Martinez took his place.

The frequent absence of important players due to injury has marred Erik ten Hag's challenging second season as United's manager.

With nine games left, the Red Devils sit sixth in the Premier League, 11 points behind the top four.

Lindelof and Martinez will also be absent from the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry later this month.
