Manchester United's defender Lisandro Martinez, who recently returned from a broken foot, suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee and is expected to be out for at least eight weeks. The injury, which occurred in the 71st minute of Manchester United’s 3-0 win over West Ham United, was initially feared to be an ACL tear. Manager Erik ten Hag described the injury as a 'personal disaster' and provided a 'very bad' update. Fortunately, it is not an ACL injury, no surgery is needed, and the club is hopeful for his return after the international break in March.
