Lisandro Martinez, an Argentina international, was stretchered off during a match after appearing to hold his left knee, leading to serious concerns from his Manchester United teammates. Coach Ruben Amorim provided a bleak assessment post-match, suggesting the injury is serious and emphasizing Martinez's value not just as a player, but also for his leadership in the dressing room. Following this game, United's three-game winning streak ended, as they lost against the Eagles, and they will look to regroup in an upcoming FA Cup match against Leicester City.
Amorim delivered a rather worrying update on the central defender. "We are going to see in the next days but I think it is a serious situation," he said.
"He is not only a great player but a strong character in the dressing room. He felt it and when you are a player, you know when it is something serious."
The Red Devils saw their three-game winning streak snapped at home to the Eagles on Sunday afternoon after conceding twice in the second half.
United are back in action next Friday as they host Leicester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup where there could be a debut for one of the club's January signings.
