Lisandro Martinez injuries
Martinez endured a series of problems since his arrival for a first 48.5 million pounds sterling in Ajax in July 2022, including a metatarsal fracture at the end of his first season with United.
The 27-year-old missed almost three months in mid-September 2023 with a foot injury, returning for a month before a knee number kept him away for two months.
He also withdrew six games at the end of the last complete campaign of former manager Erik Ten Hag with a veal strain, returning 32 times this season.
Amorim has not selected Martinez from two of his first three match teams after his arrival from Sporting in November, but he was a starter almost always present since then.
