Sports Desk: Champions League, Europa League- All in all, club football is going through a busy schedule. The number of matches in European club football has also increased. Clubs and players are struggling to cope. It also affects the fitness of the players. Star footballers are getting knocked out due to injuries.
The newest addition to that list is Argentinian defender Lisandro Martinez. This Manchester United defender was called up to the Argentina team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. But the world champions are not getting his services due to injury. He was replaced by Facundo Medina.
In a notification, the country’s Football Association said that Lisandro was injured in the last match of the Premier League against Leicester City. However, neither the club nor the national team has revealed what kind of injury he is suffering from. A few days ago, Manchester United played their last match at home before the international break. Lisandro Martinez got injured in that match.
Lisandro was on the field in 10 of Argentina’s 14 matches this year. He has played 26 matches in the national team jersey so far after his debut. He was also part of the team that won the World Cup in Qatar.
Medina, on the other hand, played only three matches for Argentina. He was last in the starting XI against Indonesia in June last year. Therefore, there is also concern about whether he will be seen in the starting eleven of Albiceleste in the upcoming two matches.
Next Friday (November 15), Argentina will play in the field of Paraguay early in the morning Bangladesh time. Five days later, Lionel Scaloni’s team will face Peru at home. In the upcoming World Cup, the world champions are on top with 22 points in 10 matches and 7 wins in South American qualifiers.
