Big Man Utd Lisandro Martinez Injury Update Emerges Before Crystal Palace

"According to Argentine outlet Eldopolis Red, medical tests have confirmed that the discomfort Martinez felt is not a serious injury, and he is expected to return to United first-team training in the next days. At the time of the news on Monday, it was reported that Martinez's absence for the Red Devils would be 1-2 weeks maximum."

"There is no doubt that Martinez is a big player for Manchester United, and he was missed during his nine-month absence after surgery on his ACL. Before his return in November, the Red Devils had won just seven of their 18 Premier League matches this term under Ruben Amorim."

"Now, in nine English top tier outings since then under Amorim, Fletcher and now Carrick, United have won five as they turned a corner and became serious contenders to finish in the top four. The Argentine formed a solid partnership with Harry Maguire at the heart of the back."

Lisandro Martinez missed Manchester United's 1-0 victory against Everton due to calf discomfort. Medical tests confirmed the injury is not serious, and the centre-back is expected to resume first-team training within days. He could potentially feature in the upcoming Crystal Palace match at Old Trafford on Sunday. Martinez remains fit for Argentina's Finalissima against Spain in Qatar next month. Since his return from ACL surgery in November, Martinez has been instrumental to United's improved form, with the team winning five of nine Premier League matches under recent management changes.
