Defender Lisandro Martinez has returned to regular training, and it is highly likely that he will be named on the substitute bench for the match against Arsenal this weekend. Martinez had an impressive partnership with Raphael Varane last season, helping Manchester United win the League Cup and secure a top-four finish in the Premier League. However, this season the Argentine player has only made 11 appearances due to various injuries.

The 1998-born player underwent his second foot fracture surgery, and later suffered a knee ligament injury in February. Martinez’s absence has significantly impacted Manchester United’s defense, as they have conceded a staggering 81 goals across all competitions this season. 

With four matches remaining in the current campaign, including three in the Premier League and the FA Cup final against Manchester City, Martinez’s return is a welcomed boost for the team.

Considering that Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, and Willy Kambwala are still unavailable, Manchester United has received positive news with the return of Lisandro Martinez. 

The Argentine player has resumed regular training and is likely to be included in the substitute list for the match against Arsenal this weekend. According to Sportsmail, Martinez has set his sights on starting in the FA Cup final against Manchester City on May 25th. He also hopes to get some playing minutes in the remaining three Premier League matches.
