Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has been handed a three-match suspension following a red card incident in the recent Premier League fixture. The ban means Martinez will miss three crucial league games for the Red Devils.
The Argentine centre-back received a straight red card during Manchester United's match against Tottenham Hotspur, prompting an automatic three-match suspension. The Football Association confirmed the ban, which applies exclusively to Premier League matches.
Martinez will be unavailable for United's upcoming league fixtures against West Ham United, Aston Villa, and Brighton & Hove Albion. However, the suspension does not extend to other competitions, meaning he could feature in FA Cup or European ties if fit.
The absence of Martinez is a significant blow for manager Erik ten Hag, given the defender's importance to the team's defensive structure. United will need to rely on alternative options such as Harry Maguire or Victor Lindelof to fill the void during his suspension.
