Lisandro Martinez Shares Emotional Message After Successful ACL Surgery

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has vowed to make a strong comeback after undergoing surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The Argentine center-back suffered the injury during United’s 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace and is expected to miss the rest of 2025.

Martinez’s Road to Recovery Begins

Martinez, one of United’s standout performers this season, shared his emotional journey on Instagram, expressing his gratitude and determination to overcome this setback.

“After going through stormy days, accepting my sadness and fears, I am now reconnecting with my essence and values. I feel immense gratitude for Manchester United, the Argentina federation, my family, teammates, and fans for their support. The surgery went perfectly, and now it’s time to give my all in rehabilitation!”

United Hit Hard by Injuries

Martinez’s absence is a major blow for United, who are already dealing with an injury crisis. The likes of Amad Diallo, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo, Toby Collyer, Mason Mount, and Luke Shaw are all sidelined, affecting the team’s preparations for the crucial clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

Can Martinez Make a Strong Comeback?

This isn’t the first injury setback for “The Butcher”, who has missed over 50 games for United due to injuries. However, his fighting spirit and work ethic suggest he will return stronger than ever.
