Jesus, we're really hitting a tricky patch of bad luck.
Well, partly that and partly the demands of a long, gruelling season.

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?
6 weeks out? I’d have snapped your metatarsal off for that this morning
If he's back in 4 or 5, Utd will still have several games left, cup finals are later this year
I don't understand the mechanics of how you fracture your foot just kinda turning! So unlucky.
David Beckham vs Deportivo Lacoruna 2002, Duscher's two footed tackle.
Thank feck for that!
But new methods speed up the healing of bone fractures have been used more and more the last years, right? Think a lot of them focus on increasing blood circulation close to the fracture and the results can be pretty significant IIRC from some report I saw/read/heard about a few years ago.
That’s what I thought it was. A tough one. Varane update?
It was Ferrara, I remember very well, Rooney was on through on goal, then the tackle. Then the infamous Rooney screaming.
I believe our season went dark from there on. Some 17 years ago.
So no Martinez, Maguire and Varane for the Brighton semi-final
Thank god for only a metatarsal break. Hopefully he’s got luck on his side for healing and shaves a bit of time off a la Eriksen.
Phil Jones to make a triumphant return
Six weeks? We've come a long way.
Strap it up and get him back on the pitch on Sunday. Only his little toe FFS
We need more 'ard men like you in the team
I'd imagine it 4 to 6 weeks for it to heal. He would only resume light work on it then. Doubt he'll be back this season.
Rooney was out for 6 weeks when he fractured his. Let’s hope this is the same outcome.
His season is probably finished. He’ll be fit and raring to go for pre season, which is more than most of us could have wished for last night.
Yep, silly to think he will play any part in the remainder of the season. Sucks, but as you said, it's a hell of a lot better than what it looked like.
Ten Hag: I have an idea what it is but I don’t cause speculation
You (multiple times): It’s a career ender
Do we actually know if Varane has an injury? I know he came off, but he did play on, it can't be that bad.
It was the jump to the absolute worst scenario which was ridiculous
Not sure serious it is but he has been complaining about it for a few weeks apparently.
why did they think that? He clutched the top of his foot, not his heel. When I read Ten Hag responding that it wasn't his achilles I thought that was weird, becuase I was wondering who thought their achilles was on the top of their foot?
If they're saying 6 weeks it probably won't be less. And even then he'd have to get fitness back.
Give the man a Gauloises and tell him to get on with it.
Oh but Savage said it was a pop.
Not sure how the hell he'd know from the TV gantry.
feck sake
If I recall, didn't he rush back for internationals and didn't look right until the next season?
It could be a spiral fracture through the shaft, does not have to be a transvers one. If it is a sprial one (known as dancers fracture) as below it usually does not need any surgical treatment.
Great news for him and for our next season. Still, terrible news for the run in this season.
It's odd that he broke it while just running though. Anyone know if this sort of injury heals completely or is likely to become a recurring thing?
Yes, an Achilles rupture is a career ender. We've established that multiple times even though you're extremely reluctant to accept it for some reason.
I think it was the nature of how he went down with no one around him. In that instance it's not an impact injury, so that would normally rule out a break, he didn't look like he rolled his ankle so that rules out a sprain, the only thing you're left to presume is that a tendon has popped, and he was holding his ankle/back of his heel, so anyone presuming that was the case at the time has very good reason to do so I'd say.
It was hilarious here last night. Redcafe physicians handing out career-ending diagnoses like WebMD dishes out cancer predictions. The hubris of some of the posters, speaking in absolutes as only a true internet nobody can. Regarding Martinez, it is neither good nor bad. He is out for the season which sucks but luckily escaped the Achilles injury that some here were salivating over him having.
Or Shaw! Glaziers investment laid bare
Oooh you're ard, showin off cos...
hope he isnt rushed back. dont know if i am right but in my recognition rooney had problems throughout his career after rushing back from this to play in the wc
