Manchester United have allowed Lisandro Mart\u00ednez to travel with and train alongside the Argentina squad during the international break while he completes the final stages of his injury recovery. The centre back is not yet fit and was not called up for this month\u2019s Argentina squad, but he will spend the next two weeks with Lionel Scaloni\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
The Argentinian Federation released a statement: \u201cThe Manchester United defender will join the Argentine national team camp to train and continue his physiotherapy with the team\u2019s medical staff,\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt should be noted that the player is unavailable for the friendly match against Angola.\u201d A formal return date has not been provided.<\/p>\n
United manager Ruben Amorim predicted things to progress \u201cslowly\u201d just a few weeks ago. The player remains on a recovery programme established by United\u2019s medical staff and is at a crucial point in his return plan.<\/p>\n
Clubs seldom permit injured players to work away from their own facilities because of tightly controlled medical protocols. The decision to allow Mart\u00ednez to train with Argentina was, according to the Daily Mail, a calculated and measured call. The belief within United is that training \u201cat a high level\u201d with the national squad would be more beneficial than keeping him at Carrington for the next two weeks.<\/p>\n
If the plan goes to schedule, Mart\u00ednez will return to United with the club assessing how to reintroduce the 27-year-old to first-team action. United host Everton after the November international break and conclude the month with a trip to Crystal Palace. The hope is that Mart\u00ednez can manage even a brief cameo before increasing his involvement over the festive period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
