Manchester United aims to end the year positively as they face Forest in their matchday 20 fixture on Saturday. Midway through the season, they are in high spirits having secured a comeback triumph over Aston Villa at Old Trafford in their previous outing, thanks to Rasmus Hojlund.
The Red Devils scuffling a string of injured players, including names like Casemiro and Mason Mount. In the defense line, Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Tyler Malacia, and Victor Lindelof are sidelined. The club receives a glimmer of positive news as some of their prolonged absentees hint at a return.
Lisandro Martinez displays elite mindset to recover from injury
Lisandro Martinez played only the initial five league games for Manchester United before sustaining a foot injury during the September UEFA Champions League clash at Allianz Arena. The 25-year-old has been a pivotal figure in Erik Ten Hag’s backline since arriving from Ajax.
The Argentine defender admitted that overcoming the injury was a mental challenge that required a brave mindset. When discussing his recovery path and the possibility of returning after facing setbacks in six months, Licha hinted that his recovery is progressing well, and he will soon be back on the field.
In his recent sit-down interview with the club, he said, “I am really good, honestly. My rehab is going amazingly. We need to be patient. It’s going the way that I want, and I feel strong. I know that I will be back soon, very soon.”
“It’s hard, very hard, especially when you’ve had two injuries in six or seven months, it’s really, really hard. But I feel strong in my head. It made me even stronger
“It’s part of football injuries and you have to accept it, and show humility. It’s time to work even harder, in the gym, to improve, to do analysis, tactics, things to progress on the field,” he added.
Mason Mount sends message to Manchester United fans
Mason Mount, Manchester United’s new number seven has returned to training as part of his journey to rejoin the squad. The $60 million midfielder suffered an injury while playing against Luton Town last month, and since then, he has been working on rehabilitation with the medical staff.
The former Chelsea man provided an update on social media, sharing pictures of his training along with the caption, “Hope you had a great Christmas Reds, can’t wait to be back out there with the lads!” suggesting his possible comeback.
Finally, some good news for fans with the anticipated return of three key players such as Mount, Casemiro, and Lisandro Martinez. They all might be back in January following their long absence, providing Erik ten Hag with ample options in the second half of the season.
