Lisandro Martinez will miss the rest of the season after Manchester United has confirmed that the defender at Crystal Palace damaged a cruciate ligament during the home accident on Sunday.
The Argentina international was removed on a stretcher at the weekend, and although United did not state how long he will end, most ACL injuries require a rehabilitation period of at least six months.
This time frame means that Martinez will return over the summer and should be fit for the beginning of the next season.
