Martinez and Varane official injury update | Martinez out for rest of season, Varane a few weeks
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Seasons done and dusted then.
Is Phil Jones back in training 
There goes the rest of the season pretty much.
Bad news!
How many times has this been said on here this season
Damn. At least Martinez will be ready for the start of next season, so at least that's something.
So it's Maguire, Lindelof, and Shaw as centre backs for the next few weeks.

What a disaster. Lindelof and Maguire taking over.... have mercy...
Wishing young Lisandro well as he recovers. Will be sorely missed.

Don't see us winning in Seville or at Wembley now tbh.
Everything rests of getting over the line in race for CL.
If we don't finish top 4 then heads need to roll.

Can't wait to return to this thread in a few weeks
Well Linda and Harry are now the two that will have to step up.
We won't be as good a watch now for the rest of the year but should still be good enough for top 4. Cup games are a lottery

It’s terrible fortune for the club to lose both our first choice centre backs at this stage of the season but of course in regards to Martinez, it could have been loads worse and if offered the injury at full time yesterday, I would have taken it considering how bad we feared it could be.
Martinez has been nothing short of being absolutely world class this season. Not just his undoubted ability to play the game, but his character, fight and desire have made him a fan favourite and I wish him a speedy recovery and raring to go again next season.
Hope we can get Varane back soon, no messing with his injuries, get him fit first.

Recall Bailly.
Its a big blow but considering half the Caf had a career ending injury diagnosed in 5 mins last night, I'm just glad he will be fit for the start of next season.
Time for Harry to step up big time.

So we get casemiro, Erikson and martial back and almost instantly lose licha, varane and rashford.
Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Might do both.

When it rains on us, it floods.
Casemiro has to be an absolute rock in front of them.
Phil Jones!
Cancel the season
It's not as bad as feared with Varane and even if we do unfortunately have to play Maguire and Lindelof at least we have Casemiro sat in front of them both.
Although Maguire is terrible and I am desperate for us to get rid in the summer it would be nice if he popped up with an important winning goal. City in the Cup final.

Yeah season done. I don't expect any more trophies now but I do expect the fringe players to stand up and give it a go.
Maguire suspended for FA cup game too right?
Rashford might be ready for next leg so he's not a bad one but yeah rest sucks.
Better news than expected! I think we'll still beat Sevilla and finish Top 4
Now I am suddenly a bit worried about TOP 4. Let's just pray Casemiro stays fit and avoids red cards otherwise it's going to be really tough.
to win things you need luck. Looks like our luck has run out for the season…. Rapha,
Licha, Rashy…. Plus Shaw and McTominay are short term misses.

I hope to see Casemiro -Shaw at the back
Watch him come in have two great games and we extend his contract another four years and then he gets injured again
It’s bad news but compared to the achilles injury we thought it was, this isn’t nearly as bad.
We could have managed with just 1 injury but both together leaves us in all sorts of trouble! I think I’d rather see Shaw back in at CB rather than a Maguire/Lindelof combo.

Rip season and Maguire's captain winning record.
Reminds me of the end of the 06/07 season where we had injuries and ended up playing Fletcher at RB and Richardson at LB.
That Sevilla game might've been terminal for our season
All three lack serious pace so it will weaken us a lot. Major setback and I would expect a real fight to finish top 4.
I still have faith. Maguire is an excellent third choice CB.
We have good enough players to see us over the line for top four at the very least.
Europa and fa cup will be tougher without our starting defensive duo for both those ties and them being two day apart.
We badly need Shaw back. And Rashford too going the other way.

Relegation looms
Eriks head
Praying we can still drag ourselves over the top 4 line, but for the first time in many many months I’m more than a tad worried. It’ll take some serious luck to win another trophy, but you never know in football.
Bollox
Thats it. Pack it up. End the season now.
