Distraught Lisandro Martinez carried off pitch after suffering lower leg injury

Manchester United suffered a huge blow late on against Sevilla when Lisandro Martinez had to be helped off the pitch after suffering an injury.

The Argentina international went to ground with no players around him late in the second half at Old Trafford in the first leg of their quarter-final tie. Martinez was spotted holding his foot and was clearly in great distress before being replaced.

Argentina team-mates Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel ended up carrying Martinez off the pitch, with the centre-back appearing to be absolutely distraught as he departed. The game ended 2-2 after Sevilla came back from two goals down to snatch a draw.

Thursday looks like being a costly night for Erik ten Hag's side. The manager saw his side throw away a two-goal lead and pick up more injuries. Raphael Varane went off at half-time, and was replaced by Harry Maguire, and Martinez then joined his centre-back partner late in the game. 

The duo join top scorer Marcus Rashford on the injured list, while Bruno Fernandes will also sit out the second leg due to suspension.
