It’s possible that LISANDRO MARTINEZ will need a second procedure to address his foot problems.

The defender for Manchester United aggravated a foot injury, which resulted in an “extended period” of absence.

Martinez suffered his injury during the second leg of Manchester United’s April Europa League quarterfinal matchup with Sevilla.

After undergoing surgery to treat a fractured metatarsal, he was sidelined for the rest of the season and only made a comeback during the summer.

But the problem hasn’t gone away for the Argentine this season.

Having aggravated his metatarsal issue against Arsenal, United disclosed that he participated in the matches against Bayern Munich and Brighton while carrying an injury.

Now, Sky Sports claims that Martinez might need to have more surgery to address the problem.

The 25-year-old could not be able to play until December if he needs surgery.

After this most recent setback, United’s center-back alternatives are Jonny Evans, Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, and Victor Lindelof; however, Varane’s fitness is still a question.

Yesterday, Erik ten Hag suffered a double blow when it was revealed that emergency loan signing Sergio Reguilon would be out due to a hamstring injury.

Due to the injuries to Tyrell Malacia, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Luke Shaw, United is down to just one full-back in their lineup.

As a result, Sofyan Amrabat might have to play left defense more frequently than he did in the League Cup midweek against Crystal Palace.

In the meantime, Antony was seen returning to training following his police interrogation over claims of abuse against his former partner.

United will play the Eagles again today at 3 p.m.
