Manchester United are facing an anxious wait over the fitness of star defender Lisandro Martínez.
The Argentine center-back, who has been pivotal to United’s defensive stability, picked up a knock during the team’s triumphant 3-0 win against Leicester City.
The injury appears to be to Martínez’s lower back, and concerns about his condition have caused the club to expedite medical assessments.
Originally scheduled to undergo tests on Thursday, Martínez is now expected to report to Carrington tomorrow, according to journalist Ryan “rxnpixels” via UtdDistrict.

While the extent of the injury remains uncertain, the club’s medical team is hopeful that the issue will not sideline him for a long period.
Ruben Amorim will be keen to have his full-strength squad available for his managerial debut, especially as United look to climb the Premier League table.
Martínez’s availability will also play a very large role as the team prepares for their upcoming away league fixture against Ipswich Town.
As Amorim looks to convert United into playing a back three, an injury to their star centre-back will prove troublesome.
