MOURINHO PROVIDES INJURY UPDATE ON MARTIAL
Jose Mourinho provided an update on Anthony Martial following Manchester United's 1-0 win over Watford at Old Trafford.
Martial had been earmarked to start the final Premier League game of the season against the Hornets but was omitted from the squad after picking up a problem in training on Friday.
Speaking to MUTV and the media in his post-match press conference, Mourinho revealed the French forward has a knee injury that puts his participation in next Saturday's Emirates FA Cup final in doubt.
"Anthony, I have to wait a bit for more. It's his knee," the manager said. "He was injured in the Friday training session and yesterday [Saturday] he couldn’t train. He had treatment in the morning at the training ground and he stayed away."
Martial joins Romelu Lukaku, who has spent time in Belgium after sustaining an ankle problem, on the sidelines and both will be assessed ahead of the Wembley clash against Chelsea.
Mourinho added: "I’m waiting for the doctor but when it’s impossible to play today, I have my doubts [for the cup final]. Let’s wait and see, also for Romelu. I know he will be back on Tuesday."
