Manchester United striker Anthony Martial will be out of play until April as he recovers from groin surgery, the club said on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old has made only 19 appearances in all competitions this season owing to an unexplained ailment. He was last used as a substitute in December, when United lost 3-0 at Bournemouth in the Premier League.
“Anthony Martial has completed successful surgery to address a groin complaint and will be out of action for about 10 weeks as he rehabilitates,” United said in a statement.
United were plagued by injury woes this season but there has been good news elsewhere in the squad as midfielder Casemiro and defenders Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw have returned to training after being out injured, manager Erik ten Hag confirmed on Jan. 12.
United are seventh in the League standings, 16 points behind leaders Liverpool, and meet Newport County in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
