Lisandro Martinez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Four tackles in victory Martinez registered one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-2 victory versus Egypt.

Impact Martinez registered two interceptions, four tackles (four won) and seven clearances across his 90 minutes in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Egypt, initially beaten in the air by Yasser Ibrahim for Egypt's first goal when the Egyptian header rose above him to meet Marwan Attia's delivery, before recovering to make four successful tackles and keep Egypt's attack largely contained throughout the second half. The Manchester United centre-back's recovery from the opening concession was central to Argentina's defensive improvement after halftime, and his combination with Cristian Romero gives the world champions one of the most combative defensive partnerships remaining in the quarterfinals.

Two goal contributions Friday Martinez scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Friday's 3-2 victory against Cape Verde.

Impact Martinez would come up with some of the biggest moments for Argentina in their win Friday, as the defender would begin with his first-ever World Cup assist in the 29th minute before his first World Cup goal in the 92nd minute. This was followed by a decent interception and six clearances in the defense, although his side did allow two goals. He will be a major player on the team moving forward, slated to be a starter as the knockout stages advance.

Leads team in clearances Martinez recorded one tackle and seven clearances to go along with a clean sheet in Monday's 2-0 win over Austria.

Impact Martinez was starting once again Monday as he played the full 90, seeing a decent shift in the defense that led his team to a clean sheet. He would also complete over 60 passes for a second straight game, with 132 between the two starts. He also led his team in clearances with seven, a solid contribution.

JUNE 22 • ROTOWIRE

Stout effort defensively Martinez recorded two tackles (one won), four clearances and one interception in Tuesday's 3-0 win against Algeria.

Impact Martinez played alongside Cristian Romero at center-back, and he didn't have a lot of work throughout the game. The Manchester United center-back seems to have a leg up over Nicolas Otamendi for a starting role in the heart of the defense, but most of his value will come via clean sheets. Considering Argentina's next games are against Austria and Jordan, he could be in line for two favorable outings before the start of the knockout stages.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start for Argentina Martinez is expected to start for Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Impact Martinez ended the season healthy and that should earn him a starting role in Argentina's backline, though it remains to be seen if it'll be next to Cristian Romero (knee) or Nicolas Otamendi. Martinez started in 13 of his 18 EPL outings for Manchester United and helped the Red Devils finish in third place in the standings while earning four clean sheets. His tenacity at the back should make him a lock-in starter for Lionel Scaloni's side.

JUNE 4 • ROTOWIRE

Finally set for return Martinez is no longer suspended and is an option for Manchester United again.

Impact Martinez is set to return in the next match after a lengthy suspension, missing their past three games. This is major for the club and defense, adding back one of their best in the department as they try to close out on a UCL spot. He should return to a starting spot immediately, building up more fitness ahead of the World Cup after a lengthy injury before the ban.

Sent off Monday Martinez received a straight red card during the second half of Monday's match against Leeds.

Impact Martinez left his team with 10 men after being shown the red card due to violent conduct in the game that marked his first appearance since Feb. 10 following his recovery from a calf issue. The defender must now serve at least a three-match suspension, adding to the squad's problems while Matthijs De Ligt (back) continues to deal with an injury, although Harry Maguire should be back from his own suspension for the next visit to Chelsea.

Starting Monday Martinez (calf) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Leeds United.

Impact Martinez has been trending towards a return for the past week or so after attending a training camp with his teammates, now fit enough to start immediately. This is a major boost to the club after not having him available for much of the season due to separate injuries, likely to remain a starter until the last match of the campaign if he can remain fit.
