Lisandro Martínez’s return nears
Injury recovery timeline
Lisandro MartÃnez, previously with Ajax, has been sidelined for eight months due to a significant anterior cruciate ligament injury. Since July, the defender has been undertaking solo rehabilitation sessions at Carrington as part of his recovery process.
Possible return after international break
Manchester United plans to cautiously reintegrate MartÃnez into the team post the November international games. Both the club and MartÃnez are optimistic about his return to the field, aspiring to meet the goal set for late 2025.
History of injuries
Since his arrival at Manchester United, MartÃnez has encountered multiple severe injuries. A metatarsal break in April 2023 warranted surgery and spurred a hiatus until early 2024. Shortly thereafter, he sustained a calf injury, followed by the ACL tear in February, leading to his existing absence.
Current team situation
Meanwhile, Rúben Amorim has deployed Luke Shaw at the left-back position as the team adapts to MartÃnez’s absence. The squad eagerly anticipates MartÃnez’s return while navigating the current season.
