"The defender has not played for United since rupturing his ACL during the Red Devils' home defeat by Crystal Palace back in February. Since then, he has been on a long comeback trail, which has included successful surgery. The Argentine's recovery has stepped up in recent weeks, so much so that United allowed him to travel to join up with his international team-mates over the latest international break."
"Martinez had returned to first-team training with his club colleagues a few weeks earlier, but to see him unscathed elsewhere will be a huge boost to Ruben Amorim, who has recently revealed his concerns about losing players over the winter due to the Africa Cup of Nations. Fabrizio Romano reported on Saturday that Martinez would be back in the frame for a return to action with United on his return to England."
Martinez ruptured his ACL during United's home defeat by Crystal Palace in February and has not played since. He underwent successful surgery and has been on a lengthy comeback. Recovery accelerated in recent weeks, allowing United to permit him to join his international team during the latest break. Martinez returned to first-team training a few weeks earlier and was reported to be fit to return to action on his return to England. His availability will help Ruben Amorim cope with expected absences for the Africa Cup of Nations, and Martinez could feature off the bench in upcoming matches.
