Lisandro Martínez back as Man United beat Crystal Palace in Premier League | OneFootball

The Argentine world champion defender returned to the field after recovering from a ligament injury in February, in the Red Devils' 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace this Sunday during the 13th round of the Premier League.

Lisandro Martínez left behind an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left leg, suffered on February 2 coincidentally against the same opponent, and once again donned the Manchester United jersey this Sunday morning.

The defender, who became a world champion with Argentina in Qatar 2022, entered at the 37th minute of the second half, replacing Luke Shaw with the score at 2-1 in favor of the Manchester side.

Thus, Martínez's return to the playing fields, after 301 days of professional inactivity, puts him back in the orbit of the Argentine national team coach Lionel Scaloni with a view to the 2026 World Cup.

The player from Entre Ríos participated in the preparation for the last friendly of the year against Angola and even traveled to Luanda to accompany the team with his club's permission.

The 13th round of the Premier League continues as follows: West Ham United vs. Liverpool, Nottingham Forest vs. Brighton, Aston Villa vs. Wolves, and Chelsea vs. Arsenal.
