Manchester United's quest for Champions League qualification has hit a snag with the recent injury setbacks to Lisandro Martínez and Victor Lindelöf. Martínez, who had just returned from a two-month knee injury layoff, suffered a calf injury during training following his comeback in the 1-1 draw against Brentford. On the other hand, Lindelöf had to be substituted in the second half of the game against Gtech Community Stadium due to a hamstring issue.
Both players are expected to be sidelined for at least a month, although there is optimism within the club that they could make a return before the season concludes. With crucial fixtures against Chelsea and Liverpool looming, their absence poses a challenge for manager Erik ten Hag, especially given the ongoing injury concerns in the defensive line.
