Terrible moment.
Martinez Injury | Out for the season with metatarsal fracture
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
Please god.
Absolute nightmare for him to get injured especially when Varane already appears to have a knock and needs to be managed at the best of times.
My initial thought was metatarsal but commentary seems convinced it was achilles.

Let's not panic just yet. Probably out for remainder of this season by looks of it but we know literally nothing yet.
Now this is the worst possible injury after casemiro. Hope it's nothing major, but it's likely a season ender whatever it is. Hope it's nothing that impacts next season.
Feck sake. Really hope that isn't as bad as it looked. Will be a huge loss.
My guess is we won’t see him again until October. Fingers crossed it’s sooner though
Best to wait and see what has actually happened before we panic too much.
Praying it’s pulled calf. Deal us some good cards football gods…not this shit sandwich.
thought it was a nIce touch tbf
Yeah I think we’re overreacting because of what Savage said. The replay looked like he hyper extended his toes while putting all his weight on them. Then afterwards he was holding the front of his foot.
Not ideal obviously but that doesn’t look like an Achilles to me
It's nothing to do with the achilles I'm sure. A rupture or torn achilles hurts like a motherfecker and he didn't seem to be in unbearable pain. Plus, he wasn't holding the achilles. I think its one of the smaller ligaments in his ankle that may have gone. Nevertheless, be very surprised if he plays again this season 
We won't see him before September if that's what it looked like.
Worst injury we could have gotten. Our most important player.
Agreed. I think people are just taking what Savage said and running with it.
Ruined my night.
His season is over.
Begin the Shaw to CB conversion and buy another LB in the summer. Or get Ndicka on a free. Martinez is done for a year at keast
They were getting him off the field so the game could be resumed . They knew we were fecked
After all my years and years of protestations, it's you Lindelof fanboys who 'win' in the end
Shame it basically a massive L for Utd.
Can only laugh.
Wasn't he crying on the touchline after being carried off?It's nothing to do with the achilles I'm sure. A rupture or torn achilles hurts like a motherfecker and he didn't seem to be in unbearable pain. Plus, he wasn't holding the achilles.

Unprofessional and daft, letting them rush him off to continue the onslaught ahainft ten men.
Harsh on Victor!
Pair of pricks all game. Nothing against them helping him off the pitch.
Must be. Because nothing we saw on the screens was consistent with that injury.
His reaction says it all. He knows he is out for a long time.
Probably find out tomorrow he’s bruised his big toe.
It would never be easy to sell Maguire.
Chelsea actually had two of those fecking injuries within one month of another back in 2019 with both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
CHO came back within maybe 5-6 months but has never really recovered the explosive pace he once had and that's definitely hindered with his development as a player. RLC took about a year to even get back to training and even then it was a very long road to recovery that also included a year on loan at Fulham because of how terrible he looked at first after returning from the injury.
So yeah, if Martinez has indeed done his achilles then chances are he's looking at a 6-12 month recovery layoff and even then it can take a long time to get back to the pre-injury levels of performance.
Looked like a season ender. What a fecking horrible end to that game
The worst low of a disastrous night has been losing Licha. Varane also out potentially.
fecking totally gutted, don't even care about the result now, my favourite player out for feck knows how long. feck it all.
Damn, 39 years old at the time. Guy was a machine and a model professional.
A friend of mine took his left one last year and he thought that someone had kicked him hard as feck from behind before realising that no one was even near him. Said it hurt like hell.
Biggest disappointment of the night. You’d have to think his season over. Gutted.
If it’s actually his achilles, then he’s a harder bastard than we all thought. Would expect far more pain than that. Isn’t it supposed to be worse than a broken leg?
I’d rather have lost that game 10-0 than this be the injury feared.
At times, it's genuinely exhausting being a United fan because there's always one of our star players that get injured. We can never just have all our best players fit and in form at the same time. One comes back, another goes out.. feck sake.
