Thanks for the info. Very concerning.
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?
Yeah, much worse unfortunately
Settle the head and see what the injury is first
Haven’t seen the injury but if he’s pulled up with no one near him it’s very unlikely to be his metatarsal. Metatarsals are bones and would require blunt trauma or a significant twisting injury with weight going through that part of the foot to fracture them.
Why is everyone so convinced it's an Achilles?
It’s his Argentina teammates they didn’t mean no harm it was brotherly it’s not like Noble and Herrera.
I'm more gutted about this than the result. Absolute disaster for us.
So even more terrible luck.
The way he got injured and the commentators were echoing it looked like that. There's always a chance it isn't though and he's pulled something, that would be a way better outcome, but he was carried off because he couldn't walk so there's always that too
didnt Spinazzola rupture his against Belguim in the Euro's too?
Why is there so much achillies talk? It looked much more like a metatarsal to me. And I'm pretty sure he'd have been screaming in agony if it was his achillies.
His reaction was very good though, he never stood on that feet since he felt it.
Agreed.
Ten Hag is getting some flack tonight, but I swear the poor fecker is cursed. The stuff he’s had to deal with this season…
Definitely. Shades of when Shaw broke his leg, I was gutted and couldn't give a single feck about the result.
I think for me it was just the way he went down. I could be totally wrong but I saw someone do the same a few weeks back.
What a week, I can't believe our luck Rashford, last week now Martinez and possible Varane who also went off injured and with Fernandez suspended next week is going to be an almighty battle.
Seasons over without doubt.
More Maguire everyone.
More Maguire everyone.
Prey it's just a pull rather than a full tear.
If it is his achilles (it is) we're going to need to sign another left footed centre back.
He won't be fit for the start of the season. Might not even be fit by christmas.

I don’t think it’s his Achilles
If it is metatarsal, his season is over but he will be fine long term. Achilles means he could not be the same player again.
We wait anxiously..
We wait anxiously..
We are just not allowed to play our strongest 11. Martial, Casemiro and Eriksen come back, Shaw, Rashford and Martinez get injured straight away. To say it's unlucky would be an understatement!
That's what I'm hoping for. A twist, a pull, a strain, anything rather than a ruptured Achilles
Spinazzola did his Achilles at the Euros. Was out little less than a year. Not sure how he's been after returning but he was some player before.
This is so fecking shit. We have had some disgustingly rotten luck this season.
Absolutely gutted for him
Did it end his career?
He grabs the side of his ankle, we could get a massive fecking stroke of luck here
@Widow
Watching the replays again I did see his hand go to the back of his leg. I’ve change my mind. I think it’s his Achilles. Feck’s sake. Disaster.

Spending £100m on Gvardiol just to stand still. Great.
What insight do they have that we don't?
FFS 
The team looks knackered. I'm expecting many more injuries in the final couple of months of this season, sadly.
Looked like a season ender
Feck
Feck
If that's anything on his Achilles then next season we basically just hope we can repeat this season tbh. There is no possibility of a title challenge without Martinez even with a 300m summer window.
Our best attacker and best defender get injured in the span of 3 days.
Splendid.
Splendid.
They did it so play can be restarted as quick as possible as they had 11v10 situation.
The guy was a robot. Kept playing at a very high level into his forties. Made a comeback and seemed like he never lost his stride.
