Injured Martial a Doubt for the FA Cup Final
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Anthony Martial may miss the FA Cup final after sitting out Sunday's Watford clash.
Mourinho claimed earlier this week that Martial would play against the Hornets, having sat out Thursday's 0-0 draw with West Ham.
However, reports surfaced prior to kick-off claiming that the France international, who has completed 90 minutes just six times in the Premier League this season, drove away from Old Trafford at noon.
United earlier published a statement on their website revealing the reason for Martial's omission.
"Martial wasn't in the 17 on duty after picking up an injury, which forced him to sit out Saturday's training session," reads the article.
Speaking after the game, which finished 1-0 in United's favour , Mourinho confirmed that Martial will be a doubt for the final.
"He [Martial] is injured. He was injured on Friday, yesterday he couldn't train. He had treatment at the training ground," Mourinho said.
"Romelu [Lukaku] will be back for Tuesday and then we'll have to see about Anthony."
