A club statement said: “Manchester United can confirm that Lisandro Martínez suffered an injury to his cruciate ligament in Sunday’s game against Crystal Palace.
“Assessment of the injury is ongoing to determine the appropriate course of treatment and the timescale for his rehabilitation.

The injury came nearly a year to the day after Martínez sustained medial collateral ligament damage to a knee during the 3-0 win over West Ham at Old Trafford February 4th, 2024.
He returned for the 1-1 draw at Brentford on March 30th but was forced off with a calf problem that ruled him out for another six weeks. – Guardian
