Lisandro Martínez Returns to Training, Cleared to Start Against Lyon – Good News for Manchester United Fans
Manchester United supporters have something to smile about following a key injury update. Argentine defender Lisandro Martínez was seen back in full training with the first team and has officially been declared fit to start in the upcoming match against Lyon.
Martínez Back on the Pitch
After weeks of recovery speculation, Martínez was spotted actively training at Carrington, engaging in high-intensity drills and full-contact exercises. Images and footage from the session quickly circulated online, showing him looking sharp and focused.
United’s club doctor confirmed the news fans were hoping for during a press conference:
“Lisandro is fully fit. He’s performed exceptionally in training, passed all assessments, and is ready to start against Lyon.”
Boost for Ten Hag’s Backline
Martínez’s return couldn’t come at a better time for Erik ten Hag, with United facing vital Europa League and domestic games. The team’s defence has lacked consistency lately, and his return brings much-needed stability and leadership.
Fans Celebrate Online
The news triggered a wave of excitement on social media. Supporters shared their joy, with one posting, “The butcher is back!” Others praised his tough mentality and the defensive strength he brings.
Impact on the Lyon Clash
Martínez is now expected to start alongside Raphaël Varane or Harry Maguire in defence. His return strengthens the squad and boosts morale ahead of an important stretch of matches.
Welcome back, Lisandro — and congratulations, Manchester United fans.
