Man Utd confirm double injury blow for Chelsea game

Manchester United have confirmed a double injury blow ahead of the Premier League clash against Chelsea in midweek.

The Red Devils have been hampered by several setbacks over the season and they have been handed more bad news.

In an official statement from the club, it has been confirmed that Victor Lindelof suffered a hamstring injury at Brentford.

Lisandro Martinez, who only recently returned from a knee issue, has now picked up a fresh calf problem in team training.

The club reveal that the duo will be out of action for at least one month, thereby ruling them out of the Chelsea clash.

The news is a huge setback for the Red Devils, who are aiming to qualify for the Champions League with a top-five finish.

With England shining in the European competitions, they are widely fancied to secure an extra Champions League spot.

However, United have a tough job in hand as they need to leapfrog Spurs, who are currently eight points ahead of them in fifth.
