The Argentina defender has injured the foot that kept him out of the club’s run-in last season.
“But it has now been determined that he needs a period on the sidelines for recovery and rehabilitation. Assessment is ongoing to decide next steps.”
Martinez’s absence in a gut punch for a United side that can welcome back Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay after missing Tuesday’s 3-0 Carabao Cup win against Palace through illness.“But now it came out that there was a problem. That’s very sad, first place of course for him but also the team because he wasn’t 100 per cent fit.
“I think it was a big difference, the Licha Martinez in the last games and, for instance, the Licha Martinez we have seen in the first season here at Manchester United.“He will add to the team… not even add, he’s a really strong contributor to our levels and if already one player drops a level, then of course the team performance levels will be lower.”
Ten Hag recently admitted he was concerned about the number of injuries United have been picking up at a time when there are ever-increasing demands on elite players. “Every time the shadow is expanding, and the load on the players is just too much” he said. “It’s such a great overload.“But it kept going, we keep expanding the shadow, but anywhere it will stop and players can’t deal any more with this overload.
