Manchester United recently confirmed that Lisandro Martínez, their Argentine defender, is expected to be sidelined for approximately two months due to a knee injury. The injury occurred during United's 3-0 victory over West Ham on Sunday when Martínez collided with Vladimír Coufal.
Martínez underwent scans on Monday, which revealed the extent of his injury. While the news of a two-month absence is disappointing for both the player and the club, it comes as somewhat of a relief for United as initial fears had suggested that surgery might be necessary.
