Manchester United provide an update on Anthony Martial after being pulled due to injury in the first half against Everton.
It is already the striker’s third injury of the season after returning in recent weeks and trying to regain the sharpness of the game.
The injury occurred during the pre-match warm-up, but did not seem serious at the time, as he still started the match and even assisted Antony’s goal.
Shortly after that goal it became clear that he could not continue and he was replaced by Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored his 700th career goal for the club.
Martial started a Premier League game for the first time in over a year for Man United after being out of form and moving to Sevilla on loan in January.
Erik ten Hag was trying to get the striker back into the team after coming on as a substitute in his last two games.
According to the Manchester Evening News, United will assess Martial today after suffering an injury yesterday.
“I have to see,” Ten Hag said after being asked about the French international’s injury.
“I can’t say what it is, how serious it is; let’s wait the first 24 hours [to see] how serious it is and then I can give an answer.”
“Everyone has to take responsibility, and Martial also took responsibility by providing the assist for the first goal.”
United ended up narrowly winning yesterday’s match 2-1 after a difficult start to the match.
Fans are hoping the 26-year-old can still contribute to the squad ahead of the World Cup.
There are still a host of games to play before the internationals travel to Qatar.
