Manchester United defenders Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez out for at least a month with muscle injuries

Manchester United have revealed that their centre-backs Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez are both out injured for the foreseeable future, with the club confirming the duo would be sidelined for at least a month.

Lindelof was in the starting line up last weekend against Brentford, only to be substituted in the second half with what appeared to be a hamstring problem.

His replacement was Martinez, but now the club have confirmed that the Argentina international has sustained a calf strain in training.

It leaves Erik ten Hag's side with a brewing injury crisis, considering how thick and fast the games are coming towards the end of the season.

They face Chelsea on Thursday evening which is live in TNT Sports, before taking on league leaders Liverpool on Sunday.

Raphael Varane is already on the sidelines with a concussion, while Luke Shaw’s return date is still a mystery after he limped off against Luton Town in February.

Currently sixth in the table, United are 11 points adrift of fourth places Aston Villa and that automatic UEFA Champions League spot, although they do have a game in hand.

But these latest injury setbacks are doing nothing to help Ten Hag, who has both the Premier League battle to fight as well as an FA Cup semi-final against Coventry to consider.

TNT Sports is available across all major TV platforms, offering a line-up of up to four TV channels (TNT Sports 1, TNT Sports 2, TNT Sports 3, TNT Sports 4), and up to six digital or red-button channels (TNT Sports 5 to 10), and TNT Sports Ultimate plus TNT Sports Box Office HD.

Chelsea v Man Utd will be live on TNT Sports 1 with coverage from 19:30 on Thursday, April 4 ahead of kick-off at 20:15.
