SHOCKING BLOW FOR MANCHESTER UNITED: LISANDRO MARTÍNEZ FACES LONG LAYOFF AFTER MYSTERIOUS TRAINING INJURY

United rocked as Lisandro Martínez suffers a mysterious training injury that could keep him sidelined until 2026.

 

 

 

Manchester United have been dealt a devastating setback after reports confirmed that defender Lisandro Martínez could be sidelined until next year following a serious injury sustained during training.

 

The Argentine centre-back, who has been a pillar of United’s defence since his arrival from Ajax, was reportedly involved in what witnesses described as a “strange and unfortunate” incident during a routine session. While the club has yet to release full details, insiders claim there was something “mysterious” about the way the injury occurred — raising questions and speculation among fans.

 

Sources close to the squad say Martínez collapsed in visible pain after making a sudden movement during a defensive drill. The severity of his reaction immediately drew concern from teammates and medical staff, who rushed to his aid before he was escorted off the pitch. Initial scans suggest the damage could keep him out for the remainder of 2025, though the club is awaiting further tests for a definitive prognosis.

 

This injury comes at a crucial point in the season, with United already juggling a congested fixture list and battling for both domestic and European success. Erik ten Hag will now face the challenge of reshuffling his backline, with the likes of Harry Maguire, Raphaël Varane, and Victor Lindelöf expected to step up in Martínez’s absence.

While Manchester United have promised to provide an official update soon, the cryptic nature of the reports — combined with the unexpected way the injury occurred — has left supporters anxious and intrigued. For now, all eyes remain on the club’s medical department, hoping for a miracle in what could otherwise be a very long road to recovery for their defensiv
