Comes off injured Martinez was forced to come off in the 67th minute of Sunday's match against Arsenal with an apparent ankle injury.

Impact Martinez went down with an ankle injury and had to come off in the 67th minute. He had been getting the start at center back the last three league matches, totaling 10 clearances and six tackles (five won) in that span. With the upcoming international break, the defender will use the time to recover, but if the injury is more serious, then Harry McGuire would likely take his place in the lineup.

Starting against Spurs Martinez (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's match at Tottenham.

Should be option at Tottenham Martinez (ankle) is expected to be an option Saturday against Tottenham, according to manager Erik ten Hag. "He was just training [on Thursday], so I think so. Yeah."

Impact It's unclear if Martinez was actually injured or not, or if Raphael Varane suggested that was the case to clear his name. If he wasn't injured, Martinez could be back in the starting XI Saturday, though Victor Lindelof is as consistent as they come and he may be asked to start at Tottenham. At this point, it's about 50/50 on who starts next to Varane for the next match.

Picks up ankle injury Martinez came off with an apparent ankle injury during Monday's 1-0 win over Wolves, Raphael Varane told BBC Sport.

Martinez's first chance to return is a Saturday trip to Tottenham.
