Lisandro Martínez Injury Concern as Manchester United Draw with Leeds

Lisandro Martínez’s afternoon ended at half-time after the Argentine defender showed signs of discomfort before the interval, and his absence was felt as the hosts found a late route back into the match.

Match sequence

  1. Martínez appeared to be struggling physically during the closing stages of the first half.
  2. He did not return after the break, with a replacement made at half-time.
  3. With Martínez no longer on the pitch, Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored for the home side.
  4. Calvert-Lewin’s goal made it 1-1, which remained the final score.

The draw came with an immediate concern for Martínez, whose condition will need to be assessed after he was unable to continue beyond the opening 45 minutes.
