Return to the game! Post: Lisandro has trained with the first team this week and is expected to return before the end of October

October 13 According to the British media "Daily Mail", Manchester United center back Lisandro Martinez is about to return from injury. Last season, Lisandro suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury and underwent surgery.

"Daily Mail" stated that Lisandro's goal is to return to the first team before the end of this month. Lisandro has been sidelined since February after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament against Crystal Palace. He underwent knee surgery in London soon after, with the club taking a cautious approach to his recovery.

Last week's scan results showed that Lisandro's knee is recovering well, and he has begun full training with the first team this week. Due to the patient strategy adopted by the club and Lisandro's personal investment in physical training during the recovery process, all parties are optimistic about the possibility of Lisandro's return to the game.

Lisandro's performance in training will determine the return timetable set by the club and coach Amorim. However, the player himself is eyeing games against Brighton (October 16) and Nottingham Forest (November 1) as return targets. "Daily Mail" stated that Lisandro is not only an important voice in the locker room, but also a member of the team's leadership team.

According to Manchester United insiders, during the difficult period of Amorim's coaching, Lisandro often showed frustration and was eager to return to the game. But the club wants to ensure that he is in perfect condition for the upcoming intensive schedule. For Amorim, who has been under increasing pressure recently, Lisandro's return comes at the right time.

Lisandro is 27 years old. Since joining Manchester United from Ajax in July 2022, Lisandro has been absent for long periods of time due to injuries three times. In April 2023, Lisandro suffered a metatarsal fracture. The injury recurred shortly after his return and he was sidelined for a long time again. In February 2025, Lisandro tore his cruciate ligament and has been sidelined to this day.
