Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez nearing a return.
Man United star defender Lisandro Martinez closing in on first-team return in the coming days.
The Argentine defender was one of the successful signings by Erik ten Hag last summer and hasn’t played for the club after sustaining a foot injury on September 20 against Bayern Munich.
Since then, Martinez has missed 21 straight matches in all competitions as he underwent an operation in January.
His impending return will be a huge boost for Ten Hag who has seen his defence fail miserably this campaign.
The defender revealed that he’s nearing a return and credited the United medical staff for their efforts.
“Well, I am really good, I am really good, honestly,” Martinez told the Man United official website.
“My rehab is going amazingly, in the way that I want, I am feeling strong, doing everything right with Ibra [Ibrahim Kerem] the physio, he has been amazing.
“And also the medical department, they take care of me from day one so it was really important. Yeah, all is perfect for me.”
“Definitely, we need to be patient, we need to be patient – I know that I will be back soon, very soon, It takes time, we need to be patient.”
