Manchester United’s Anthony Martial has been ruled out of Saturday’s FA Cup final against Manchester City due to a hamstring injury. “The France international strained his hamstring towards the end of Sunday’s 2-1 win against Fulham at Old Trafford,” read a United statement. “Assessments have since revealed a muscle tear that rules the 27-year-old out of the Wembley showdown.” Martial missed United’s first two Premier League games this season due to a hamstring problem, while other small injuries since have restricted him to 29 appearances in all competitions in which he has scored nine goals. Only 11 of Martial’s 21 league appearances this season have been in the starting line-up, but he had been hoping to be in contention to start at Wembley against City, who are looking to complete a treble of league, FA Cup and Champions League. The former Lyon player, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla, joined United from Monaco for £36m in 2015 and has made almost 200 league appearances for the club.
