Arsenal fans are all saying the same thing about Lisandro Martinez after he was substituted against Arsenal on the weekend.

Gunners supporters will still be riding high on their dramatic 3-1 victory over Manchester United on Sunday, which saw Mikel Arteta's side snatch victory from the jaws of defeat at the Emirates Stadium.

With the scores perfectly poised at 1-1, Alejandro Garnacho looked to have won it for the Red Devils in stoppage time, only to for it to be disallowed by the narrowest of offside calls.

Moments later, Declan Rice arrived at the back-post to score his first goal for the club, before Gabriel Jesus sealed all three points with a well-taken finish.

Martinez started the heavyweight clash but was forced off in the 67th minute after picking up a suspected foot injury and was replaced by Harry Maguire.

Victor Lindelof was also subsequently brought off, which meant Maguire and Jonny Evans finished the match in central defence.

Offering an update on Martinez's injury after the game, Erik ten Hag told reporters: "Licha [Martinez] said he had a problem on his foot. But I'm not sure if it's an injury. We have to wait, we have to see, we have to make the diagnosis."

Despite concerns over the extent of his injury, the 25-year-old was pictured training with Argentina on international duty, suggesting he is injury-free.

Martinez took to Instagram to share his joy at joining up with his country, captioning the post: "Nothing nicer than being at home! Happy", alongside a smiling emoji and Argentina flag.


Meanwhile, rival fans have now suggested he was "faking" an injury on the weekend to avoid playing.

Taking to Twitter, one Arsenal fan tweeted: "Never forget Littlesandro Martinez faked an injury to get subbed off vs Arsenal."

"He faked an injury when United needed him most", another added.

"He faked his injury to escape Jesus," a third joked.

"Could it possibly be that he faked that Sunday injury?" another asked.

While a final fan remarked: "So it appears that both Lindelof and Martinez are fit and ready to play for their National teams? why on earth were they replaced in the final minutes of the match against Arsenal? Could've saved a point?"
