Lisandro Martinez has shed light on the 'sadness and helplessness' he felt after tearing his ACL in a heartfelt update to supporters following surgery.
The Argentine defender could be out for up to a year after picking up the injury during Manchester United's 2-0 defeat by Crystal Palace earlier this month.
Mail Sport revealed this week that the 27-year-old was due to have an operation in London on Thursday. Martinez has now updated supporters on his condition and thanked his family, friends and team-mates for their support.
'Today, after going through several stormy days where I allowed myself to feel and accept my sadness, helplessness, insecurities, fears, and a deep emotional imbalance, I am reconnecting with my essence and my values, which help me see things from a kinder and more positive perspective,' he wrote on Instagram.
