Lisandro Martinez Injury: Nearing return

Martinez (knee) is eyeing a return to training and to play, according to manager Ruben Amorim. "Licha is near, but almost returning to the training with the team."

Martinez is still recovering from his ACL injury dating back to last February, but he is the closest he has been to a return yet. However, he is yet to train with the rest of his teammates, needing to do that before he sees the field again. That said, the defender should train again soon, followed by his return to play.
