Confirmed: Anthony Martial Set To Miss FA Cup Final

Ahead of Saturday’s Manchester Derby FA CUP final, Manchester United has confirmed that Anthony Marital will miss the match due to a hamstring injury.

The Frenchman was said to have suffered a muscle tear in the club’s Sunday’s final Premier League game against Fulham, and will be unavailable for selection when his side takes on Pep Guardiola’s City at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

United’s confirmation reads: “Anthony Martial is out of Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup final against Manchester City due to injury.

“The France international strained his hamstring towards the end of Sunday’s 2-1 win against Fulham at Old Trafford.

“Assessments have since revealed a muscle tear that rules the 27-year-old out of the Wembley showdown.”

Since the beginning of January 2021, Martial hasn’t completed 90 minutes of Premier League action, and this will be his sixth injury this season.
