Get ready for some exciting updates from the world of Manchester United!
A Quick Recovery for Lisandro Martinez?
Michael Carrick, the head coach of Manchester United, has shared some promising news regarding the club's defender, Lisandro Martinez. In a recent interview, Carrick revealed that he doesn't anticipate Martinez being sidelined for an extended period.
Martinez, who has been a key part of Carrick's back four since he took charge, unfortunately missed the team's recent win against Everton due to an injury sustained just before the game. However, the boss is optimistic, stating that it's just a matter of days before we see the World Cup winner back in action.
But here's where it gets controversial... Will Martinez be fit in time for the upcoming Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace on Sunday? Only time will tell, as the club is yet to confirm his availability.
And this is the part most people miss... Carrick also provided an update on another injured player, Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu. Dorgu, who scored a memorable goal against Arsenal in January, is making good progress in his recovery from a long-term injury.
In his pre-Palace interview, Carrick said, "Licha [Martinez] is much closer to returning than Patrick. We're hoping it won't be long. We'll assess him over the next couple of days and see how he's doing."
Additionally, Carrick mentioned that Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt, who missed the last game, are also getting closer to a full recovery.
So, who will step up in Martinez's absence? Leny Yoro, who partnered Harry Maguire in the previous match, could be an option again if Martinez isn't ready for Sunday's game.
United's schedule is packed, with their next match against Newcastle United just three days after the Palace fixture.
