Manchester United news: Anthony Martial drops out of France squad for Euro 2020 qualifiers through injury

Anthony Martial has returned from international duty with France to Manchester United due to injury. 

Didier Deschamps will now be without Martial for the Euro 2020 qualifying matches against Moldova and Iceland.

The French forward injured his knee in the 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Wolves. 

A decision was made after a conversation between the two parties, the FFF have revealed. 

A statement read: “Anthony Martial is suffering from recurring problems in the right knee.

"He again felt severe pain in his right knee after Saturday’s match against Wolverhampton.”

Atletico Madrid winger Thomas Lemar has been called up as Martial’s replacement.
