Manchester United have confirmed Lisandro Martínez will be out for two months with a knee injury.
Martinez was forced off during the second half of their 3-0 win over West Ham on Sunday.
The Argentina defender underwent scans on Monday and is set to miss the next eight weeks.
“Lisandro Martínez has sustained an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his knee and is expected to be out of action for at least eight weeks.
“The Argentine defender left the field in the 71st minute of our 3-0 win over West Ham United at Old Trafford on Sunday. We all wish Licha a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch later in the season,” an official statement from United read.
Martinez only returned from a foot injury and after missing more than four months, the 26-year-old had started United’s last three matches.
