Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez is facing an extended spell out with injury.<\/p>\n

Martinez has aggravated a foot injury he suffered in April at the end of last season.<\/p>\n

The club says he played with the injury in the defeats against Brighton and Bayern Munich after the setback occurred in the loss at Arsenal on September 3.<\/p>\n

Next steps are being considered as assessments continue, the statement added.<\/p>\n

Man Utd will also be without Sergio Reguilon for Saturday’s visit of Crystal Palace in the Premier League due to a minor injury.<\/p>\n

Manager Erik ten Hag has contended with a raft of injury issues in the early stages of this season, but now has Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat, Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire fit and available.<\/p>\n

Martinez’s injury means Maguire, Victor Lindelof or Jonny Evans will fill in against Palace on Saturday and for the foreseeable future as United cope without Martinez.<\/p>\n

Reguilon, who was brought in on loan from Tottenham as emergency left-back cover for injured pair Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, was covered by Amrabat in Wednesday’s 3-0 win over Palace in the Carabao Cup third round.<\/p>\n

Amrabat played as an inverted full-back in United’s first meeting with Palace this week, impressing on his Old Trafford debut.<\/p>\n

Diogo Dalot, United’s only remaining fit recognised full-back, can be used on the left but with Aaron Wan-Bissaka still out Ten Hag has run out of options for cover.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
