Earns bench spot Martinez (calf) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Martinez is finally back with the team once again, having overcome his calf issues after missing seven matches. He will now hope to get the start in the club's final contest of the season, as he has started in all but two of the few games he has been available for this season.

Impact Martinez is finally nearing full health following his third injury spell of the season, as he was included in group training last week and is now set to be on the team sheet Wednesday. This is excellent news for the player after only playing 11 games all season, now set to be an option for their final three games of the campaign. The only question seems to be where he will start, as he could begin on the bench, but the club may choose to start him immediately with limited options in the defense.

Training with group Martinez (calf) is taking part in group training, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Martinez's return to group training is a tremendous boost for the club, as many thought he would miss the rest of the Premier League season, and their defense is in shambles due to numerous injuries. He will likely still need a little more time to recover and probably won't face Arsenal on Sunday, being much more likely to return against Newcastle on Wednesday. He will hope his return to play does come to fruition, as he has only made 11 appearances all season due to his constant spell with injuries.

Man United defenders Martinez and Lindelof ruled out for at least a month because of injuries

Manchester United defenders Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof have been ruled out of action for at least a month because of injuries

APRIL 2, 2024 • Associated Press

Picks up calf injury Martinez (calf) will be out for a month with a calf injury, Manchester United announced.

Impact Martinez picked up the calf injury in training and is now set for a month on the sideline. It's obviously a disappointing turn for the defender. Martinez is a crucial piece of the backline and has missed multiple stretches through injury. With at least a month on the sideline coming up he could be done for the season.

Makes return against Brentford Martinez (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's contest against Brentford.

Impact Martinez makes his return to the team sheet following his second injury spell of the season, ending a five-match streak on the sidelines due to a knee injury. He will look to find the starting XI in the club's next contest, as he has started in all but one match he has been an option for this season. Hopefully, this is his last encounter with the injury bug, as he has missed 25 games this season due to complications.

Could return against Brentford Martinez (knee) could return for Saturday's trip to Brentford, according to manager Erik Ten Hag."Yes, there is a chance [Lisandro will be in the squad],"

Impact Martinez has a chance to get back on the pitch Saturday despite originally being expected to be out for another week. The center-back likely wouldn't be fit enough to start Saturday but even getting back on the bench would be a nice turn. With Jonny Evans and Harry Maguire (undisclosed) both uncertain it's a true mystery who will be in line for the start in defense Saturday.

Impact Martinez will complete the final stages of his recovery from a knee injury with the national team during the international break. The defender could return to Manchester United action as soon as the break concludes, potentially as early a March 30 trip to Brentford.

MCL injury confirmed Martinez (knee) suffered an MCL injury and will miss eight weeks, Manchester United confirmed.

Impact Martinez was always going to be out a substantial period of time and the timeline is now confirmed to be at least two months. Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire will likely see a long run in the starting XI with Martinez on the sideline.

Outlook not promising Martinez, who suffered a knee injury against West Ham on Sunday, will be reevaluated but his injury concerns don't look promising. Manager Erik ten Hag told reporters, "I can't tel...

Impact Martinez was just three matches back from a long-term foot problem that previously cost him three months and 20 contests. Raphael Varane figures to be in contention to reclaim his place in the starting XI with Martinez on the shelf, playing alongside Harry Maguire. At this point, Martinez should probably be considered a long shot to face Aston Villa on Sunday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out.

Forced off injured Martinez was forced off in the second half of Sunday's match against West Ham with an injury.

Impact Martinez left the match in the 71st minute being replaced by Raphael Varane. The defender recently returned from a foot injury which had kept him out since September and now has to deal with another ailment.

Starts in Cup Martinez got the start during Sunday's 4-2 win over Newport County in the FA Cup.

Impact Martinez was finally back in the starting XI and he got some significant run in the FA Cup. The defender is back from a long-term foot issue and should now be competing for minutes in the starting XI. The United backline has changed repeatedly this season so it's not clear if Martinez and Raphael Varane will be the top choice defenders or if there will be more rotation on the horizon.

Records 27 minutes Sunday Martinez finally was back on the team sheet Sunday against Tottenham in the 2-2 draw, notching 27 minutes of play off the bench.

Impact Martinez was back on the pitch Sunday, finally making his long-awaited return after spending 20 matches on the sidelines due to a foot injury. His return was slightly disappointing, as even though he registered 27 minutes of play, he was unable to notch a single significant stat. The defender should return to the starting XI after a couple of matches of testing his legs and health, as the club continues to be in turmoil within the defensive department, with all but two of the team's normal center backs being out due to injury. He most likely won't gran the starting spot against Wolves on Feb. 1, but could get the nod a few days later against West Ham on Feb. 4.

Surprise training Martinez (foot) is in training ahead of Sunday's clash with Tottenham, according to manager Erik Ten Hag. "Martinez is training."

Impact Martinez was expected to be multiple weeks away from a full return, but is now supposedly back in training, and was listed next to Luke Shaw. What is particularly interesting is that Shaw is expected to return Sunday. It's possible that Martinez could even be back in the first team squad for Sunday's match.

Impact Martinez recently stated his rehab was going well and that he should return to action at some point during January, but the Wigan match comes too soon for the Argentina international. His next chance to feature will come on Sunday against Tottenham once the Premier League resumes this weekend.

JANUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab going as planned Martinez (foot) has returned to full training as his rehabilitation is going "perfectly", according to him.

Impact Martinez is on pace to make a return this month after missing almost the entire first half of the season with a foot injury. If the defender completes a full week of full training with no issues, then he could be an option for the Jan 14 clash against Tottenham.

JANUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Given the struggles Manchester United have had at the back this season, there's no question that manager Erik ten Hag wants him back as soon as possible. However, the defender also said he needs to be patient with his recovery before even thinking about returning to competitive action. "Definitely, we need to be patient, we need to be patient," he says. "I know that I will be back soon, very soon. It takes time, we need to be patient." Martinez's first chance to play in the EPL will come against Tottenham on Jan. 14, but the coaching staff expects him to be back in the mix for minutes at some point during January.

Impact Martinez' absence is set to continue to the new year after missing the last four months with a foot injury. It is positive news that the defender is inching closer to a return, where he will likely slide back in the starting XI with injuries to Harry McGuire and Casemiro in the defense.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Training individually Martinez (foot) was spotted training individually Monday but is still not an option to return to action, Sam Carney of Manchester United's official website reports.

Impact Martinez was spotted with the group once training started, but he left shortly after to conduct some individual work as part of his injury rehabilitation. This is certainly a step in the right direction, but Martinez is ways away from returning to action and being an option to strengthen the Red Devils' struggling defense.
