Lisandro Martinez
27-Year-Old
Manchester United
Premier
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 11/24/2025
Back in full team training
Martinez (knee) eturned to training with the rest of the first-team squad on Wednesday, the club announced. "He's feeling well. The knee is responding really well, so I don't want to say one specific day or one week. I don't know, but it's near to start the training with the team. Then it depends on the rhythm of Licha, if he wins the place or not, that will depend on him, but he's closer to return to training."
ANALYSIS
Martinez has been sidelined since early February after suffering a knee injury in the game against Crystal Palace. The center-back spent many months in recovery and rehabilitation and showed positive progress on Wednesday after being spotted training in full with the team in Carrington. The return of Martinez will provide a boost to the back three of coach Ruben Amorim since he is an undisputed starter when fully fit and available. That said, after many months on the sidelines, Martinez will likely be eased back to build his competitive fitness gradually in upcoming fixtures.

He's training really well, the knee is looking well but I don't want to say a specific week [for his return] and then it depends on Licha, whether he wins the spot."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On his way out of Old Trafford?
Martinez could leave Manchester United in the near future, according to Talksport.
ANALYSIS
Martinez is a regular for Manchester United, but it wouldn't be surprising if he leaves the club in the summer. Manchester United could use some new signings, and Martinez is a top target for Real Madrid. If Los Merengues offer a lot of money for the center-back, expect the Red Devils to consider a transfer.
