Manchester United's Anthony Martial ruled out of FA Cup final

Manchester United's Anthony Martial has been ruled out of Saturday's FA Cup final against local rivals Manchester City.

Martial suffered a hamstring injury late on during their 2-1 win over Fulham in the final game of the Premier League season on Sunday.

The club's official website has since announced that the Frenchman will play no part in the showpiece occasion at the weekend.

It means more frustration for the 27-year-old who has already missed much of 2023, and was absent for Man United's EFL Cup final win over Newcastle United in February.

Since returning from that muscular injury, Martial has started just eight times, coming on as a sub in seven, and he sustained his most recent injury after coming on as a 67th-minute substitute on Sunday.

Martial's absence also means he will now fail to reach double figures for goals for the third successive season, with the forward on just nine for the campaign in all competitions.
