Lisandro Martinez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back from suspension Martinez is no longer suspended and is an option for his club moving forward.

Impact Martinez will be back in the fold when United returns from the international break, with the defender serving his ban after two yellow cards last time out. This will give the club another option in the defense, set to serve with Harry Maguire (back) in the middle of the defense.

Lisandro Martinez back in spotlight at Man United after red card against Chelsea

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has been sent off for collecting two yellow cards in a four-minute span against Chelsea in the Premier League

OCTOBER 31 • Associated Press

Sent off against Chelsea Martinez was sent off in the 63rd minute of Saturday's Premier League clash against Chelsea after receiving two yellow cards.

Impact Martinez leaves Manchester United a man down after picking up his second booking midway through the second half against Chelsea. The Argentine defender had recently returned from a thigh injury that forced him to miss the Champions League defeat against Como, making his dismissal another setback following his recovery. The red card will result in a one-match suspension in the Premier League, ruling him out of United's next fixture against Aston Villa. His absence will reduce the team's defensive options, with Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui and Ayden Heaven among the candidates to feature in central defense during his suspension.

Impact Martinez returns to Manchester United's matchday squad after missing the midweek defeat against Como due to a thigh issue. The Argentine defender has recovered sufficiently to be considered for selection, although he will initially have to settle for a substitute role. Ayden Heaven has been selected to start alongside Harry Maguire in central defense, leaving Martinez competing for minutes off the bench. His return provides United with additional defensive depth as he works toward regaining his starting role.

Impact Martinez remains uncertain for Sunday's Premier League clash against Bournemouth after a thigh injury kept him out of Wednesday's Champions League defeat to Como. The Argentine defender could return to contention if he recovers in time, although his fitness remains a concern ahead of the weekend. Manchester United have regained several defensive options, with Matthijs De Ligt returning from injury, Leny Yoro available again after serving his European suspension and Ayden Heaven recovering from illness. If Martinez remains unavailable, De Ligt and Harry Maguire could continue as the starting center-back pairing, with Yoro also competing for a place in the lineup.

Impact Martinez won't be an option for a depleted backline, as the Red Devils will also be missing Luke Shaw (undisclosed), Ayden Heaven (illness) and Patrick Dorgu (hamstring). Without Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro are the options to provide cover at center-back. However, Carrick's words indicate the Argentina international will have a shot at playing against Bournemouth on Sunday.

Impact Martinez faces uncertainty over his availability for Wednesday's European encounter after sustaining a thigh injury during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United. The defender experienced discomfort during the first half and was replaced by Noussair Mazraoui at halftime, with coach Michael Carrick subsequently confirming that the substitution was injury-related. His absence from Tuesday's training session suggests he has yet to recover sufficiently, although the severity of the problem remains unclear. With little time remaining before the Como fixture, Martinez appears at risk of missing the match unless he makes a late recovery. Mazraoui, who recently returned from his own injury absence, could be handed another opportunity in the starting lineup if Martinez is unavailable.

Impact Martinez was forced to leave Sunday's draw against Leeds after struggling with thigh discomfort during the first half, having been spotted crouching down on the pitch before being replaced by Noussair Mazraoui at the break. Coach Carrick confirmed that the substitution was injury-related rather than tactical, raising concerns about the Argentine defender's availability for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Como. The severity of the issue remains unclear, and further assessments will likely be needed to determine whether Martinez can recover in time for the midweek fixture. Mazraoui, who recently returned from his own injury absence, could benefit from additional playing time if Martinez is unable to feature, providing coach Carrick with another defensive option while the Argentine's fitness is evaluated.

Withdrawn at halftime against Leeds Martinez (knock) was substituted at halftime of Sunday's Premier League clash against Leeds United after apparently picking up a knock, according to Steven Railston.

Impact Martinez appeared to be struggling physically early in Sunday's encounter against Leeds, having been spotted crouching down before eventually being replaced by Noussair Mazraoui at halftime. Although a tactical substitution cannot be completely ruled out, the decision to introduce Mazraoui, who had only recently recovered from a minor injury, suggests Martinez may have been dealing with a physical issue. The nature and severity of the potential injury remain unclear, leaving his availability uncertain for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Como. Mazraoui could provide additional defensive cover if Martinez is unable to feature.

Impact Martinez appears to have resolved his differences with Manchester United following discussions with the club over his comments after Tuesday's Champions League defeat against Atletico Madrid. The Argentine defender had publicly questioned the club's sporting direction, raising concerns about his immediate standing within the squad. However, the situation has now been addressed internally, and the coaching staff have confirmed that he remains available for selection. Martinez has been a regular starter this season, featuring from the opening whistle in all five of his Premier League appearances while recording six shots, five tackles, four interceptions and 18 clearances.

Earns 36th Argentina cap Martinez played 81 minutes and helped Argentina keep a clean sheet in a 4-0 win over Bolivia, earning his 36th senior international cap, according to the club.

Impact Martinez delivered a solid outing in central defense as Argentina comfortably shut out Bolivia before he was replaced late in the match. The center-back has also been an undisputed starter for Manchester United this season, starting all four of his Premier League appearances. Martinez has recorded six shots, three tackles, two interceptions and 13 clearances in league play, maintaining a key role in United's back line.

Scores own goal Sunday Martinez had an own goal, four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Fulham.

Impact Martinez opened the scoring Sunday, but he did it on the wrong end of the pitch. Senne Lammens parried a Fulham shot straight into Martinez, and the ball directed into the back of the net to give the home side the lead in the 63rd minute. It's a tough stat to go on Martinez's sheet, but it can hardly be characterized as his fault. Martinez desperately tried to get the goal back on the attack, recording a season-high four shots in his full 90 minutes of action.
