Man United handed major double injury blow as Erik ten Hag prepares ahead of Chelsea

Man United will head to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the Premier League on Thursday with their ranks even more depleted following injuries to Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof

Manchester United’s Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez will be sidelined for at least another month after picking up fresh injuries.

Martinez had been out of action since early February, but returned to face Brentford last weekend.

He started on the bench before replacing Lindelof in the second half after the Sweden international picked up a hamstring injury.

A club statement confirming the news, read: “Manchester United centre-backs Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez will be out of action for at least a month due to muscle injuries.”

Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Anthony Martial are all injured and will also miss the trip to west London.
