Fabrizio Romano provides update on Lisandro Martinez’s recovery from injury | OneFootball

Manchester United will not rush Lisandro Martinez back from injury.

According to leading football journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Argentine international suffered an injury setback earlier this year that is ‘not a normal problem’ which explains why United’s staff are wary about the situation.

“Lisandro Martinez’s injury is not a normal problem,” Romano wrote in his latest CaughtOffside column.

“It’s a big setback for the club and so Man United staff are being very careful with the player.

“His recovery is going well and Lisandro is doing good, but he’s not ready yet and the club won’t force anything. They will keep waiting until Martínez feels 100 per cent ready to play football again.”

Martinez suffered a metatarsal injury for the second time in five months earlier this year.

As a result, the 25-year-old has been forced to patiently watch from afar after undergoing surgery on his foot.

Martinez has been desperately missed in United’s back four and his return in the new year will come as a major boost for Erik ten Hag.

It has been 18 months since Martinez joined from Ajax and he was one of our best performers last season. It goes without saying that his absence has added to the struggles we’ve faced this term.

Martinez is one of 8 United players currently ruled out of action. The others include Tyrell Malacia, Casemiro, Jonny Evans, Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount, Amad and, of course, Jadon Sancho.
