Manchester United star Anthony Martial suffers potential back injury
According to RMC Sport (h/t The Mirror), Manchester United star Anthony Martial is training away from the rest of the France squad after suffering a potential back injury in the win over Portugal.
The striker played 78 minutes of Les Bleus win over Portugal in the Nations League recently.
French manager Didier Deschamps was full of praise for the striker but refrained from mentioning any injury in the post-match press conference.
According to the report, Martial trained on his own on Monday and is considered a doubt for Tuesday night’s game against Sweden.
Martial has won 25 caps for France but has only scored one goal so far. He was one of our finest performers last season but is yet to hit his stride this time around.
Martial formed a prolific front three with both Mason Greenwood and Mason Greenwood. Both players too have spent recent days on the sidelines but are expected to be fit to face West Bromwich Albion this weekend.
United have enjoyed a topsy turvy season so far. Martial’s best performance for us this season came in the Champions League against PSG.
Hopefully, he can replicate that on a regular basis from now on. While the Frenchman’s injury is yet to be ascertained, we hope it is nothing serious and he will return to action soon.
