Manchester United’s Antony and Lisandro Martinez have suffered injuries ahead of the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Several Manchester United stars are anticipated to miss the trip to Wembley, but one player might make an unexpected comeback.
“There’s still one game to go,” Erik ten Hag said on the Old Trafford pitch after Manchester United’s 2-1 final-day victory against Fulham on Sunday.
In Saturday’s FA Cup final, the Reds have the chance to complete a cup double while also destroying Manchester City’s treble dream. Regardless of what happens at Wembley, Ten Hag’s debut season will be remembered fondly.
A trophy win, on the other hand, would surely turn a good season into a fantastic one. United will not be at full strength against their city rivals, but they were given a boost ahead of the Fulham triumph.
That was about Antony, who was taken out on a stretcher half an hour into Thursday’s 4-1 triumph over Chelsea. Ten Hag stated after the game that the injury appeared “serious,” but provided a more optimistic report on Sunday.
He said: “We’ve all seen how he came off and didn’t look great. But the first assessment is not too bad and a good opportunity he is available for the Cup final next week.”
Ten Hag stated over the weekend that Martinez would be returning to Carrington this week to resume his recuperation. He expressed hope that the defense would be ready for the start of preseason.
Martinez’s metatarsal injury suffered against Sevilla last month forced him to miss the rest of his rookie season. The 25-year-old was seen wandering around the Old Trafford pitch after the win over Fulham on Sunday to clap the fans.
July as a possible comeback date
