Manchester United have lost Lisandro Martinez for the remainder of the season with a foot injury.

The 25-year-old Argentina defender suffered the injury in United's 2-2 Europa League quarter-final first-leg draw against Sevilla on Thursday.

Martinez broke down in the second-half with United leading 2-1.

His centre-half partner Raphael Varane also was forced out of the game with an injury and is expected to be out for a few weeks.

"Lisandro Martinez has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after fracturing a metatarsal bone in his foot," the club said.

"However, the Argentinian defender is expected to make a full recovery in time to be ready for the start of next season.

"Martinez sustained the injury in the 86th minute of Thursday night's 2-2 draw with Sevilla in the quarter-final of the UEFA Europa League."

"Lisandro's defensive partner Raphael Varane was also substituted with an injury at half-time in the same game and is expected to be out for a few weeks.

"Everyone at Manchester United sends Lisandro and Rapha our best wishes for a speedy recovery."
