Manchester United’s center-back, Lisandro Martinez, has hinted at a potential imminent return to the field after battling various injuries. Initially sidelined for a month with a calf strain in early April, Martinez has faced multiple setbacks this season. Despite his progress from the latest injury, it is unlikely he will feature in the upcoming matches against Sheffield United and Burnley. However, his Instagram post suggests he may be available for the trip to Crystal Palace on May 6.
United has grappled with several other injury issues during Martinez’s absence, particularly in the center-back position. With Harry Maguire as the only senior center-back available for the FA Cup semi-final, Casemiro had to fill in alongside Maguire, who played despite his own injury.
Martinez’s return would provide a significant boost to United’s defense, which has been depleted by injuries. The Argentine international has been a key player for United this season, making 11 appearances in all competitions. His return would also provide some much-needed competition for places in the center-back position, with Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, and Victor Lindelof all vying for a starting spot.
It remains to be seen when Martinez will be fully fit and available for selection, but his latest update suggests that he is making progress. United fans will be eagerly awaiting his return, as they look to finish the season strongly and secure a place in next season’s Champions League.
