Lisandro Martinez delivers Man Utd injury update after undergoing surgery on metatarsal fracture.
After undergoing successful surgery, Lisandro Martinez has begun his recovery from a season-ending injury at Manchester United.
An untimely metatarsal fracture sustained while playing Sevilla in the Europa League quarterfinals has ended the debut season of the Argentina international defender, who helped his nation win the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
Martinez had to have surgery, but everything went according to plan, so the feisty 25-year-old is now prepared to start his rehabilitation with the expectation that he will be ready to go for the Red Devils in 2023–24.
Martinez has said in a post on Instagram as he recovers in hospital: “Everything went really well, thanks to God! Many thanks for all of your messages. Now focusing on the recovery.”

Martinez followed Erik Ten Hag from Ajax to Manchester in the summer of 2022. Despite early concerns about his height when facing a Premier League challenge, Martinez has made 45 appearances for United this season, helping them to end a six-year trophy drought when they won the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle.
