What Happened
Lisandro Martinez has been ruled out of Manchester United’s match against Everton due to a calf injury. The news was confirmed shortly before the game, marking another setback for the defender who has struggled with injuries this season.
Why It Matters
Martinez’s absence is significant as he has been a key player for Manchester United, starting in their last nine Premier League matches. His injury comes at a crucial time as the team aims to maintain momentum after a strong run under interim manager Michael Carrick, who has led the team to four wins in their last five matches.
What’s Next
Martinez is expected to be sidelined for one to two weeks, as reported by journalist Laurie Whitwell. In his absence, Leny Yoro has been called up to replace him in the starting lineup. Manchester United will look to continue their pursuit of a top-four finish in the Premier League, with their next match against Crystal Palace scheduled for Sunday.
