In an up-and-down game, Manchester United narrowly beat Wolves 4-3 away from home, but with that came worrying news: Argentine center back Licindo Martinez, who returned to the field after recovering from surgery not long ago, was substituted late in the game, and then the army doctor iced his foot, suspected to be re-injured. He already underwent two operations last year for a fractured metatarsal, and a further injury would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Manchester United.
After months on the sidelines since his injury last September, Lisindou Martinez was not able to return until last month, and this game was his second start since his return. When Wolves launched a comeback from 2-3 down, Lysindo-Martinis was rushed off the front line and returned to the bench and immediately had his foot immobilized with an ice pack. Losing him, United conceded another goal in the next minute and were fortunate to have Maneo's strike to help turn the victory around.
