Lisandro Martinez Returns to Manchester United Training

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has returned to first-team training after recovering from a knee injury sustained in February against Crystal Palace. The Argentine, who has made 91 appearances and scored three goals since joining from Ajax in 2022, resumes full training after surgery and months of rehabilitation, providing a timely boost for manager Ruben Amorim.

After a long recovery period, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has finally returned to first-team training at Carrington, marking a major boost for Ruben Amorim’s side. The Argentine centre-back has been out of action since early February after sustaining a knee injury during the final moments of United’s defeat to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Following surgery and months of rehabilitation, Martinez has now resumed training with the squad, signaling that his comeback is near. Since joining United from Ajax in 2022, Martinez has made 91 appearances, scoring three goals and winning both the Carabao Cup and the Emirates FA Cup. His return is expected to strengthen United’s defence, which has struggled for consistency during his absence. Amorim, however, remains cautious and has not provided a specific timeline for his competitive return, stressing that the decision will depend on Martinez’s fitness and rhythm in training.

The Reds face Nottingham Forest this weekend before visiting Tottenham Hotspur, with the November international break to follow. Martinez’s steady progress has been met with optimism around the club, as his return could play a key role in Manchester United’s push to regain form in the coming weeks.
