Manchester United fans received the dreaded confirmation on Friday that Lisandro Martinez will miss the rest of the season after fracturing a metatarsal bone in his foot against Sevilla.
The Argentine's injury was a concern from the moment it happened, a collapse under no pressure while turning. His compatriots from the visiting side carried him off the pitch where a stretcher was at the ready.
Erik ten Hag confirmed shortly after the final whistle that it wasn't an Achilles rupture, as was first feared. And while the recovery time from a broken metatarsal is far less in comparison, it still rules Martinez out for what will be a crucial six-weeks between now and the end of the season.
