Martinez Injury | Out for the season with metatarsal fracture
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone

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?
Out for the season, either way. At this stage we’re desperately hoping he’s back before next season.
Its no longer a career threatening injury. It used to be 20 years ago but NFL players get them far more often (this includes cornerbacks which need to move in every direction like a CB), and it is no longer career threatening. Its just a longer recovery than a normal ACL tear.
This
Two of the largest shitc**ts through the whole game thinking doing one good deed makes up for it
Man that sucks. Hope he’s back soon. Great player.
can that just go like that? I saw a guy do his Achilles other week and it was like that, almost confusion at first at what had happened!
We pretty much need to sign another CB now. He'll likely be gone until Christmas.
Full recovery from an Achilles injury usually takes six to 12 months
If you get to see the replay you'll definitely see pressure on the metatarsal just as he winced.
Found 2 cases of Achilles tendon ruptures on transfermarkt so far (European top leagues):
Loftus-Cheek missed 280 days (9 months) and 38 games for Chelsea.
Agustín Marchesín of Celta Vigo suffered a rupture on 3 Feb this year and is expected to be out until October.

Was Varane injured too? Can't understand his sub at half time if not for fitness issue.
Very dramatic
Christ almighty.
Was holding the side of his ankle not the back so I hope it’s ligaments in that location instead of the Achilles. Season over no matter what.
How many goals in error will United concede in these remaining fixtures when Lindelof, Maguire and DDG try and play out the back.
Javier Zanetti also ruptured his and was out for something like a year. It's a very bad injury.
Gutted for him.
Looks a season ender but hoping I'm wrong. F*ck's sake.
Six months minimum if it’s torn.
He took a knock in the first half
We are fecked if he is fecked.
And with that (And Rashford) our season is over. I expect we will be knocked out by Sevilla and fall out of the top 4
We’re definitely going to have to prioritise a CB in the summer now. That could be him out for 12 months, if he comes back at all.
What a horrible end to that game.
I thought this. His foot gave way too. I’m hopeful as it will mean a much faster and simpler recovery.
He did. Something happened in the foot.
Missed "only" 189 days, according to transfermarkt.
It’s a real possibility. Most likely some times around December
That’s him done for a long time. Gutted.
I haven't read anything, but I know that look from experience. I ruptured my right Achilles in 2006 and my left in 2008. I'm 99% sure that's what Martinez did. If so, he's out for the season. I didn't walk on my own for 9 months the first time, 6 months the second. I hope I'm wrong...
What?!?!
They are his argentine teammates. They probably love him more than we do tbh.
They're Argentina mates. Understandable.
Yeah it was the outside of his foot.
Love how on here within two minutes it’s a snapped Achilles and he’s out for a year. We literally have no idea what the injury is yet
Johnathan, sorryMy memory fails me. Been a few years. And he was in his mid thirties, I think?
Yup. Then he grabbed the top of his foot. His hand never went anywhere near the back of his leg. When your Achilles goes it’s like being hit with an axe on the back of your leg. His reaction didn’t look like that at all.
I thought the same
Why the hate on Acuna and Montiel ? They did nothing wrong.
Hopefully Licha will be back soon. A honey badger doesn't go down that easily.
