Manchester United are facing an injury crisis ahead of the season run-in after Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane picked up injuries in the 2-2 draw with Sevilla on Thursday night.
Varane went off at half-time before Martinez was stretchered off in injury time. Sevilla scored two late goals as United imploded during the last 10 minutes and Ten Hag is facing selection problems for the trip to Nottingham Forest on Sunday with Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Scott McTominay, Alejandro Garnacho and Donny van de Beek already sidelined.

Martinez looked in a lot of discomfort as he left the pitch, although Ten Hag denied the Argentinian had torn his Achilles.
“It is not the area, I can’t tell [what it is] but it is not the area of achilles,” said Ten Hag.
“I think he will not play on Sunday. It looks like that but I can’t say what the diagnosis is and I prefer to wait and say what it is. We have very good replacements with Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw so we have players who can replace them [Martinez and Varane] but of course it is a miss.”
