Has been injured for 8 months! Post: Manchester United defender Lisandro plans to officially return at the end of this month

Hupu, October 13 According to the "Daily Mail" report, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez is expected to return to the game at the end of this month. The Argentina international has been sidelined since February when he injured his anterior cruciate ligament against Crystal Palace.

Although he underwent surgery in London soon after the injury, the club has always taken a cautious approach to his recovery process. Test results last week showed that his knee is recovering well and he has begun full training with the first team this week.

For two reasons, all parties are optimistic about the imminent return of the 27-year-old Martinez: one is the patient recovery strategy adopted by the club, and the other is the efforts made by the player himself in his personal training plan. His specific status in training will determine the return timetable set by the club and Amorim, but the player himself has targeted games against Brighton and Nottingham Forest.

This World Cup champion is not only an important leader in the locker room, but also a core member of the team's management team. Club insiders revealed that with the team's recent poor performance and coach Amorim under tremendous pressure, Martinez has repeatedly shown anxiety due to his eagerness to return to the team. But the coaching staff still wants to ensure that he is in perfect condition for the critical stage of the season.

For Manchester United coach Amorim, who has been under increasing pressure recently, Martinez's return comes at the right time. Manchester United has suffered three defeats in the Premier League this season, the latest being a loss to Brentford on September 27. However, it is gratifying that the team has won two of the last three games, especially after consecutive victories over Chelsea and Brentford at Old Trafford, and has won three consecutive home games.
