Anthony Martial Is Threatened With A Long Absence After Spraining His Knee

JAKARTA - Manchester United were hit hard after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed that Anthony Martial may finish the season early due to injury.

The France forward limped off in Qatar's 2022 World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan last month, initially deemed a minor injury.

However, Martial is now expected to be out for a longer time after his injury was judged to be more severe upon further examination.

This not only dealt a blow to United in the English Premier League and Europa League, but also the attacker's chance of appearing at Euro 2020 which is rescheduled this summer.

"Unfortunately, he sprained his knee while with the French national team," the Norwegian coach told MUTV, as quoted by Antara from Goal on Monday.

“It always happens when they go to international matches. You can keep your fingers crossed and hope they get back fit. "

The 25-year-old was included in the France squad five years ago at the 2016 European Cup, and was a substitute in the final when Les Bleus lost to Portugal.

Martial missed the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and now he is in danger of missing again for France at the 2020 European Cup.
