As Manchester United gears up for their crucial Premier League showdown against Newcastle United, manager Erik ten Hag has provided insight into the team’s injury status, with a particular focus on Lisandro Martínez’s potential return to action.
Martinez, who has been plagued by foot, knee, and calf issues this season, has seen limited playing time, making just 11 appearances so far. His last game was in the 1-1 draw against Brentford on March 30, leaving fans eagerly awaiting his return to the pitch.
Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, Ten Hag expressed optimism regarding Martinez’s availability for the upcoming fixture. “I think he will return to the squad,” the manager stated. “He’s had some sessions with us, and we plan for him to be available. If everything goes right in training this afternoon, he will return to the squad.”
However, Ten Hag also addressed the fitness concerns surrounding other key players, including Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, and Willy Kambwala. The extent of their involvement in the upcoming match remains uncertain, with their participation contingent on further assessments and training sessions.
