"Martinez has missed the last five matches with a calf injury and made only 15 appearances across all competitions so far this season, having been out until late November initially following knee surgery."
"If Martinez is not ready to start, then it seems likely that teenager Ayden Heaven would partner Yoro at centre-back against Leeds."
"The break has actually worked in our favour in some ways in terms of getting players back, United's interim head coach Michael Carrick said in Dublin."
"To have Licha [Martinez] back in and around us this week is good. Obviously Harry is going to miss the [Leeds] game so to have Licha back in and around it, with Leny and Ayden, we just want to keep getting stronger as a group really."
Martinez has missed five matches due to a calf injury and has only played 15 times this season after knee surgery. He is now training in Dublin, preparing for a return. Yoro has filled in during his absence, while De Ligt's return remains uncertain due to a back injury. If Martinez isn't ready to start, teenager Heaven may partner Yoro against Leeds. Other players like Dorgu are also rehabilitating, and the break has allowed some players to return to training, enhancing team strength.
