Isn't that injury 6-9 months of recovery?
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?
We're probably in big trouble now, the run in is tough, let's hope the backup can pull something out for the remaining games
I could be wrong, but I believe the Laws prohibit carrying an opposing player off the pitch.
Yep, potentially longer or shorter also, depends on the severity. Something between 5 months and a year.
Out of all the players he is our out and out warrior and the exact type of character you want with the games we have coming up.
We won games without him post World Cup, but at this stage of the season it's going to be a huge loss.

Grabs his calf here
Roughly yes, it’ll be a miracle if we see him playing before Christmas this year.
Oh no, I can’t bear another game of Malacia.
He is half the player he was.
Its weird, he just appears to roll his ankle. So innocuous

YESSSSSSSS
Concerning ten Hag said he's complained about the same injury recently.
Doesn't look good the way his foot goes limp just as it happens, like he loses control of it.

And breathe
That was varane
PHEWWW
Get in!!!
Season is back on!!!
Yeah, looks like his Achilles
edit: NevermindEven the best case injury mentioned here is long-term but less likely to affect his ability in the future.
Love how people jump to the worse possible scenario.
It's like googling anything you either potentially have cancer or you could die unless you seek urgent medical attention.

He was talking about Varane wasn’t he?
Oh thank feck
That was Varane
Thank feck
Speculation but the OT pitch looked really bad today. I wonder if that played any part
Good news!!
Please please please
He seems pretty certain it’s not too from what he’s said.

Every fecking doctor in here saying achilles.
Thank god. Achilles is one where it is likely that you are never the same even after a full year of recovery. Anything else and you trust they get back to 100% soon enough, he'll I'd rather ACL than Achilles.
Will have to use this injury as an opportunity to properly take stock of our options and to seek additional investment at CB. Varane needs to be moved on from as unreliable fitness-wise anyway. Good opportunity for Maguire and Lindelöf to be properly assessed by ETH over a period of matches before acting in the transfer market.
Oh dear, yet again the resident medical experts have embarassed themselves. Every time.
Nahh, just ask Mark Noble
Can't help I suppose, like I said earlier, it's weird because he just appears to roll his ankle and the ground sinks a bit beneath him too.
Phew.
Would've been pretty evident instantly if it was, that's why Mirror are - not surprisingly - full of shit again.
A really "good" scenario would be something like a twisted ankle, I've done it once, it fecking killed, and I felt it go, maybe I'm just soft but really struggled to walk for a couple of days. Also nearly passed out from the pain.
Unfortunately don't think it's that simple as he didn't do it while landing
Like I said, first thought was metatarsal as he grabbed his foot. I know he then goes round to the back of his leg, but hopefully it was to give himself more support?
Please please be ok he's one of my favourite players, and been absolutely pivotal for us this season. One of the absolute worst players to get any injury let alone what is likely a season ender.
