Manchester United have been handed a huge injury boost ahead of their return to action against Leeds United next week. Michael Carrick’s side are currently away in the Republic of Ireland for an intense training camp to help them prepare for the Premier League run-in.
United are currently third in the Premier League table and well-positioned to secure Champions League qualification at the end of the season. The Reds return to action when they host historic rivals Leeds at Old Trafford on Monday 13 April, and there is some positive news on the injury front.
Lisandro Martinez is back in full team training with the rest of the United squad and is set to be available for their next match. The Argentine defender has missed the previous five games due to a calf injury, but has taken another step towards full fitness after he was spotted in the open session on Tuesday morning.
Lisandro Martinez injury boost
Lisandro Martinez has returned to full Manchester United training and could be named in their squad to face Leeds United in the Premier League next week.
The 28-year-old has missed the previous five matches due to a calf injury but took part in the club’s open training session in Dublin on Tuesday morning. His potential return next week is a huge boost to head coach Michael Carrick, who is set to be without the suspended Harry Maguire for the clash with Leeds United.
In terms of other injury news, Patrick Dorgu has yet to return to group training and is continuing with his own individual rehabilitation programme from a hamstring issue. United stress there is still no timeline on his return to first-team action, but he continues to work on his recovery with the current aim of being back with the squad before the end of the season.
Matthijs De Ligt did not travel to the Republic of Ireland due to his ongoing back issue, while Tom Heaton and Diogo Dalot are absent due to illness.
