Lisandro Martinez
28-Year-Old
Manchester United
Premier
Expected to start for Argentina
Martinez is expected to start for Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
ANALYSIS
Martinez ended the season healthy and that should earn him a starting role in Argentina's backline, though it remains to be seen if it'll be next to Cristian Romero (knee) or Nicolas Otamendi. Martinez started in 13 of his 18 EPL outings for Manchester United and helped the Red Devils finish in third place in the standings while earning four clean sheets. His tenacity at the back should make him a lock-in starter for Lionel Scaloni's side.

In contention to return Monday
Martinez (calf) is back in team training and in contention to return for Monday's clash against Leeds United, though coach Michael Carrick is taking a measured approach to his comeback. "It's just that call we make. We wouldn't be pushed into anything. It's important that the boys are ready, as important as the next game always is, the most important is always the bigger picture. So, that's a decision that we'll take. He's back training, which is great, and back on the grass, but we've certainly got to make the right decision and make sure he's ready."

Barcelona are looking to sign a left-footed center-back for the 2026/27 season, and Martinez seems to be at the top of the club's list.
