There are two opposing sides as to the severity of the 25-year-old's injury.
On the one hand, the first mentioned by the medical staff of the Blues did not indicate any serious injury.
“He has a little problem with his knee (…) Everything that is serious has been rejected.
We carried out tests, but there is still pain ”explained Didier Deschamps a few days later about his attacker.
Six to eight weeks of absence planned
On the other hand, the opinion of his club Manchester United is not quite similar.
The optimist is not in hand according to the words of Mancunian coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “Unfortunately, Anthony Martial sprained his left knee with France.
It always happens when the players leave with their selections ... Losing Anthony Martial probably until the end of the season is really sad, especially when the returns from there (from France) indicated that the injury was not no big deal.
Yet it looks like it ”.
While the Norwegian coach evokes an absence of six to eight weeks, a race against the clock would be launched regarding the participation of Anthony Martial in the Euro from next June.
The Mancunien has become an important option because of his versatility in the axis or on one side with the Blues.
According to RMC Sport, the injury should not call into question his place in Didier Deschamps' group.
