French international Anthony Martial is set to miss Manchester United FA Cup final against Manchester City due to a hamstring injury.

The Frenchman sustained the injury after coming off the bench in United’s Premier League season finale against Fulham on Sunday.

“Anthony Martial is out of Saturday’s FA Cup final against Manchester City due to injury,” United said in a statement Tuesday.

“The France international strained his hamstring towards the end of Sunday’s 2-1 win against Fulham at Old Trafford.

“Assessments have since revealed a muscle tear that rules the 27-year-old out of the Wembley showdown.”

Martial scored nine goals in 29 appearances for Manchester United this season, but was limited by injuries.

Only 11 of his 21 league appearances have been as a starter, but he hoped to be in the running to start at Wembley against City, who are attempting to win the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.
