No need to rush Martial as long as he's ready for Sunday. That is, if he will be ready for then..

Martial will kick a ball for us once a month at absolute best all season. He's finished. Like we already all knew.

Martial is always not so available, seems he always injured himself on training ground.

When will we learn? Going into a season depending on Martial is a disaster waiting to happen. I mean, it's not like we've had 6 years of evidence to fall back on. He's either out of form or injured. I hope we get rid of him this season.

Martial had a bruised achilles so why are people riled up he’s not available? It’s been less than a week!

Basically we are going to hamstring ourselves until Jan then overpay for someone when it's obvious we need a striker.

Because he was injured and recovered from it. Had a 45 min cameo against Liverpool and now injured again.

It’s worrying when he’s our main striker and we are already thin on forwards.

Three aging strikers then genuine interest in Arnautović.

Stuff like this just creates bad taste from what could've been superb transfer window.

Will Ten Hag risk a Ronaldo start, or will he stick with the same team that won back-to-back matches.
Has to go with Rashford Elanga and Sancho again. We’ll have Antony available from Sunday.

Ronaldo couldn’t even give us some legs for the few minutes he was on against Leicester.

Indeed. I could barely walk for a week when I bruised mine last year. Took me 2 weeks to get back into some sort of moderate activity. Martial starting against Arsenal would be a bonus.

I’ll have to agree. Who knows, Ronaldo may not even feature in the team. A Depay loan honestly wouldn’t be a bad punt..

With Martial its a mentality issue. Now Ronaldo is staying expect Martial to not be available far more than he is. Sorry but its true. Martial doesnt see himself as bench fodder.

There were signs of Ronaldo’s decline last season despite getting the goals he did. Moments where you could see he was struggling with balance when his legs were getting tired. This was even more noticeable in his sub appearance on the weekend. His age really is beginning to show now.

We can only expect cameo appearances from him if he ends up staying.

I thought it was interesting when Ben Foster said on his show recently that football is an ego sport when talking about our problems. Makes plenty of sense with our issues over the past 10 months.

Caps info needed for when Martial IS available - default position is he isn’t.
