Deschamps says knock on top of foot apparently
Sounds like it's an impact injury. Pretty sure he will be fine for Saturday if that's the case
Twisted ankles can be right feckers so it better not be that.
Good job England you useless fecking morons.
Looking on the bright side he could do with a short break from playing really.
Not a good thing playing a 19 year old in every game imo.

Gaaaaaaah! 
Ah feck off. Just feck off.
feck OFF
The fear among the fans at the thought of Martial getting injured. 
One has got to laugh. How the feck did we leave ourselves in such a fecked up situation with our attackers.

We were genuinely about to go into the new season with Rooney, Wilson and Fellaini as our main strikersThe fear among the fans at the thought of Martial getting injured.
It's bloody ridiculous. The state of our attack without him isn't worth thinking about.The fear among the fans at the thought of Martial getting injured.
International breaks are just so shite. Especially when it is just friendlies.
Please for the love of everything, let it be a simple bruise.
Some of you lots overreact a lot and it gets annoying. You just read what Deschamps said yet you wouldn't stop with all these worst case scenarios such as twisted ankle etc.
Bloody hell people get a grip. From the look of things and what Deschamps said it's nothing serious, so let's keep the hysteria and pessimism when we actually get something conclusive which point out to such otherwise the lots of you just want to sound tragic despite signs showing there is nothing serious.
God people can get irritating in this place.

The reality is that we shouldn't be relying on just 1 striker
Too true. Even if Martial is injured, it's not the end of the world.
While this might be true, it's not the point I was making.
We already have issues in the final third, if our main attacking threat is injured than it doesn't bode well.
That being said it doesn't seem serious, hysteria is justified though.
I'd prefer to use the word "concern" but hysteria is just mad. Before any confirmation you see a lot of people shitting their pants.
Am I the only one thinking it might actually be beneficial for the lad to be rested a few games before the busy Christmas period? If it's not a serious injury and just a knock it'd be a forced layoff for sure, but it might be better in the long run.
Our main problem is we're obviously so reliant on his attacking spark to create chances, so I can understand the 'concern'.

Without him and attack that is already horrendous to watch and which struggles to create chances will become even worst. He's that important to us now.
It's not the "end of the world" for anyone, but it's natural for people to get more annoyed when our most exciting player gets injured. I've defended LVG/the style criticisms a lot, but without Martial there's not much excitement in attack on show is there? And loads of people look forward to our matches being fans.
You wouldn't think so by reading some comments ("we're fecked" etc etc ..)
It is considering we have no forward line without him
Why do useless friendlies always injure so many players, and we have one of the worst attacks in the league, the only think that gave us on the attcking side to look forward to was the unpredictabilty and quality of Martial, I hope the match on weekend wont be another snorefest to watch, with zero players being able to take their man on
Maybe Depay will be forced to start now, should be interesting how he does

It's a farce that an injury to one forward should cause so many problems anyway.
We do even if it's a very frustrating (shitty) one. Injuries are annoying and even more so when the players is important but they happen and I just accept it.
I understand the frustration (if he's injured). The rest (Rooney, Depay etc) haven't exactly filled people with confidence. But yeah, let's see what happens if he isn't available. From a personal POV, I have to say he's become one of the biggest reasons to look forward to watching us play so there's that side of it too.
Let's see what happens if he's out for Saturday first, and then see how we perform. For all we know we put out a good performance and win.
If we put in a good performance, Mata, Rooney, Herrera all can score. But we need to put in a good performance.
Don't forget Memphis, Young and Lingard....
If we had, we wouldn't be panicking so much. During the treble season none of us worried if either Ole, Cole, Teddy or Yorke were injured because we were sure others would compensate to them. We dont have that now
Panicking when you know for a fact that he'll miss the game is one thing and panicking when you know have no confirmation is extremely stupid for me.
Still, he's the only decent striker we have. The rest are either too unproven or too shit. No one knows if hes only missing 1 game either
Then why start panicking now ?
Cause it can be worse.
Im not panicking, Im just gutted that's all and I am sorry for LVG. He inherited too many crappy players and if shit hits fan the blame will fall on him
My comment wasn't specifically aimed at you but at many posters in this thread and the one for the friendly match. LVG has to take some responsibility for not adding another attacking player (playing Fellaini as a striker is madness for instance).
LVG got rid of RVP and Falcao which proven to be masterstrokes since they are both finished. He did allow Chicarito to leave which may be considered to be a mistake however the little pea wanted to leave and he brought Martial whose a great player. There's a limit to how many players a manager can be allowed to sign so you cant blame him for not spending another 35-50m on a striker, especially since we've got that fat feck on top salary and a long term contract.
I don't blame him for not buying an expensive player but more about loaning a (fairly inconsistent) player like Januzay. However if he had to buy a player, I'm sure one not too expensive could have been found.
Is there any news on his scan yet?
Loaning Januzaj was a bit stupid. However I disagree on the second point for two reasons
a- football has changed. Defenses are getting tougher season after season. I was lucky to watch in summer a United game during the 90s and I was amazed how the EPL had improved on that level. Some of the spaces and mistakes done by the EPL defenders of the time would be considered hilarious in today's football. I wonder how many of those CBs would even make it to a top 5 EPL club these days. Also the systems had changed. The time of having two strikers upfront is over so you really need a top quality striker upfront. A Teddy or a Forlan type of striker will probably not do.
b- We need to understand that players are highly paid employees. We're talking here of people earning 70-300k a week here and not some clerk on minimum wage. That's why we simply didn't add more midfielders when we had a nearly 40 year old Giggs, Scholes, Cleverley, Fletcher and the rest of SAF's favourites there and that's why we couldn't add another striker in especially since we already have a 300k a week striker playing there.
I believe that Rooney is a bigger problem for the club than we simply think. He's on top salary, on a long term contract and he doesn't seem to want to go to Turkey or the MLS anytime soon. If the white Pele decides to remain to OT till the end of his contract than we'll probably not be able to add that quality striker we need as an alternative to Martial
