Lisandro Martinez - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Back injury confirmed Martinez has been confirmed to have suffered a back injury, according to manager Luis Scaloni, per Tashan Deniran-Alleyne of the Standard. "We saw he had suffered a blow to his bac...

Impact Martinez's injury was confirmed following his withdrawal from the Argentine national team, with the defender suffering what is now known as back issues. This is a brutal blow for the player, although it appears to be more of a cautious move to ensure his fitness after he started and plated the full 90 in their last contest. That said, he should be expected to be fit following the break as long as he avoids any setbacks.

Impact Martinez exploded with four shots Sunday after recording just two across his first five matches. He also set a season high with seven interceptions and made four clearances for the third time this season. While his side had a rough outing, Martinez was one of the lone bright spots in the loss.

Unused off bench Martinez (undisclosed) was on the bench but went unused in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Barnsley.

Impact Martinez was back on the team sheet Tuesday but didn't see any time to test his legs, going unused the entire match. However, this is still good news, as his inclusion should clear him of any injury for the weekend. He will hope to see the start in his return, as he is yet to miss a league start this campaign.

Forced off Martinez was forced off with an apparent injury during Saturday's trip to Southampton.

Impact Martinez came off in the first half of Saturday's clash due to an injury and was replaced by Jonny Evans. The defender would be a major loss if left injured yet again, especially with Leny Yoro (knee) also injured, and Matthijs De Ligt (undisclosed) being forced off minutes later.

Injured for most of season Martinez was limited to just 14 appearances (11 starts) between the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League during the 2023/24 season.

Impact Martinez started the first six matches of the 2023/24 season, but he struggled with injuries throughout the rest of the campaign. Martinez went down in mid-September and didn't return to action until January, making four appearances before going down once again. The center-back was a regular starter when available, and if his fitness levels allow him, he should be a regular at center-back in 2024/25.

Ramping up fitness Martinez is continuing to work on his fitness, according to manager Erik Ten Hag. "We have seen yesterday Licha Martinez [is back], he had a good session now as well."

Impact Martinez is still ramping up his fitness despite his return Wednesday, as he was included in training Thursday and had a "good session." Hopefully, this will lead to the defender starting in the club's Premier League season finale Sunday, as he only appeared for seven minutes against Newcastle on Wednesday.

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.

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.

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

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.
