Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed Lisandro Martínez has returned to training, although the trip to Nottingham Forest will just come too soon for the versatile defender.
The Argentina international sustained a dreaded torn ACL in February and has missed United’s last 33 games across all competitions. But a series of positive scans have left United fans eagerly anticipating his imminent return.
Amorim said in his latest news conference that Martínez has even pushing to make his comeback against Forest on Saturday, but United’s medical staff have intervened to avoid taking any unnecessary risks with the 27-year-old.
“He wants to go to this [game], he is not going to this one, he is going to take time,” Amorim told reporters. “He started training with us but we had to change some things in the exercise for him, so slowly he is going to get better.
