Argentina defender Martínez has been absent from the last five Premier League matches due to a knee injury. It was unexpected for him to play this weekend, but he surprisingly received a call-up to the national squad last week, leading to speculation that his return was closer than initially anticipated. However, he did not feature for his country and left the squad five days early to return to Manchester and focus on his fitness. Martínez will continue training at Carrington and might be available to participate in some capacity against Brentford.
Manchester United will face Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday evening, but head coach Erik ten Hag will have to cope with a significantly depleted squad due to numerous injuries. Nine senior players are either ruled out or doubtful for the match. On a positive note, summer signing Mason Mount has returned to training and might be able to make an appearance in this weekend’s fixture.
In their previous encounter with Brentford, Manchester United relied on a late brace from Scott McTominay to secure a victory. As they aim for a more comfortable win this time, we have gathered the latest injury news and updates ahead of the game.
