Updates here please 
Martinez Injury | Out for the season with metatarsal fracture
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Devastating.
Doesn’t look good
SHaw at CB for the rest of the season.
In before @crossy1686 says his career is finished
That more than less confirms our best 11 won’t play once all year
His reaction says it all, I think he just felt a pop.
Sickening. Season over for sure, will he be back for the start of next season or does Achilles take quite long to recover?

Looked like the achilles
If only he was fit. Him and Varane, either of them.
Can't see him playing again before 2024.
No Martinez no party.
Terrible luck but we've got Lindelof
Hes injured and that'd mean malacia at left back. He needs hooked for that goal
Yeah, his season is done.
How unfortunate can you be?
It can be anything between a couple of months and a year apparently.
Jonathan Walters stopped his career over an achilles-injury. John Barnes struggled too. That's probably the more rare cases however.

He looked absolutely gutted. When you know, you know.
probably what? Six months out best case for the Achilles?

My thoughts until you remember Shaw isn’t fit either.
Our 3 first choice CBs are injured
It’s a case of laugh or cry.Fecking devastated. Had to be a long old injury that might have lasting repercussions for him on a player like him. Sickening.
Achilles is career changer. And he will be long for most of next season. Absolutely devastating for him. And we will need even more money in the summer.
Lindelof - Maguire means we will now start leaking goals like a sieve.

Ok I’m crying nowMy thoughts until you remember Shaw isn’t fit either.

Fair play to Maguire, reminding us that it’s not the end of the world there.
around 6 months
Yea, we are fecked.
I wonder if it was his metatarsal? He grabbed his foot, not the back of his leg.
Yeah he is all about acceleration and agility. Feck.
Please, I hope it's not severe. By far our most important player, with him our football is okay, without him we will be close to trash I fear.
Shaw at CB is needed but Malacia will really have to step up.

Been a beast all season. Get back asap, but I feel we all know that will be already a few months into next season
It complicates our transfer-business quite a lot if he's out. Not easy to sell Maguire now. We'll probably have to change our targets. Doom and monger, yes.
Hopefully. His reaction doesn't strike me as someone injuring his achilles (hurts like a motherfecker). We have to prAy it's the foot or some other small tendon.
Expecting the worst, hope for the best
Yeah, didn’t look like an Achilles to me. More like he grabbed ankle or side of foot.
@Widow said that too. Hopefully it is
Why did we let those two cnuts carry him off?
Hopefully have him back by Christmas
Aye that’s our season fecked. Only now will people realise how important he is to building from the back
No one wants to face the truth yet but an Achilles tear is very, very difficult to recover from, the mobility in your foot never comes back. Imagine having a foot that it's flexible in certain directions.
Some of the best up and coming players in recent years have had their careers effectively ended at this level due to this injury, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Koscielny, Johnathan Walters and John Barnes.
I really hope Martinez's isn't that injury or if it is, it isn't severe otherwise he could be in massive trouble. He might also be alright eventually if it isn't his dominant foot.
