Lisandro Martínez
would miss the remainder of the season due to a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot.
This is good news, apart from the fact that he will spend at least six weeks away from the courts.
It is that at first it was feared that he had suffered a more serious injury, such as a ruptured Achilles tendon, when a few minutes from the end of the 2-2 game between
Manchester United
and
Sevilla
he collapsed on the Old Trafford pitch without have had any contact with a rival.
The bone injury was confirmed after the medical tests were carried out this Friday.
What remains to be defined is
whether Licha Martínez should undergo surgery or whether the player will recover without having to undergo surgery.
The image in which former Defense and Justice and Newell's was taken off the playing field by
Marcos Acuña and Gonzalo Montiel
, teammates in the Argentine National Team and also participated in obtaining the World Cup on Qatari lands, generated a lot of emotion on the part of the Argentine fans and brought down a great message of camaraderie.
Precisely, Acuña dedicated a message to him through his Twitter account:
"All the best friend and that it is not too much"
, wrote the Egg.
The loss of the former Ajax defender will be more than sensitive.
His performance on the pitch earned him the love of United fans, who even chant 'Argentino, Argentino' every time they get the chance.
However, Erik Ten Hag, the team's coach, stressed his confidence for his possible replacements.
“We have competent central defenders.
They tested their level in the past and also this season.
We have four or five very good full-backs who can do the job”
, explained the coach.
Another who was in charge of sending him all his support was
Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia
, president of the AFA, who spoke on Twitter and left him a very meaningful message.
"There will always be a place where we share triumphs and pains. The @argentina team is family. Licha Force 💪🏻🙏🏼"
, said the boss of the mother house of Argentine soccer.
The moment of injury
There were only five minutes to go until the end of the match and Licha had the ball under control.
From one moment to the next, and without contact with any rival, he felt pain in his right ankle and fell to the ground.
After being assisted by the United doctor, and without being able to step on it, it was his teammates from the Acuña and Montiel National Team who carried him on a litter to help him get off the Old Trafford lawn.
