Manchester United have announced they're withdrawing Lisandro Martinez from the frontline.

A foot injury has plagued Lisandro since preseason, having initially broken down in the Europa League against Sevilla last season.

In a statement today, United confirmed: "Lisandro Martinez will be out of action for an extended period due to an aggravation of the foot injury he suffered in April.

"The Argentinian defender experienced the setback in our Premier League game against Arsenal earlier this month.

"It has now been determined that he needs a period on the sidelines for recovery and rehabilitation. Assessment is ongoing to decide next steps."
