Overview
- Lisandro Martinez was withdrawn at half‑time of Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Leeds after telling staff he “felt his thigh a little bit,” manager Michael Carrick said.
- Martinez is now listed as a doubt for Manchester United’s Champions League trip to Como, but the club has not reported any scan results or given a return date and the Fantasy Premier League’s 75% chance figure is an estimate rather than an official medical update.
- Left-back Patrick Dorgu has been ruled out for a number of weeks with a hamstring sustained on international duty, striker Benjamin Sesko has suffered a fresh shin flare-up, and midfielder Manuel Ugarte remains sidelined long-term after a World Cup ligament injury expected to keep him out until 2027.
- Carrick also confirmed Marcus Rashford has been managing a persistent problem that reporters link to a World Cup-era hip issue, which has limited his minutes this season and leaves his availability uncertain for the immediate fixtures.
- The club will assess the squad at Carrington on Tuesday before travelling to Italy, with Carrick likely to consider makeshift defensive pairings and rotation because Noussair Mazraoui only recently returned to fitness and other options are thin, and the situation will sharpen scrutiny over depth and recruitment.
