Ten Hag expects Martínez to return vs. Newcastle

MANCHESTER, England -- Erik ten Hag is expecting Lisandro Martínez to be fit for Manchester United's Premier League game against Newcastle United on Wednesday.

Martinez has been restricted to just 11 appearances this season because of foot, knee and calf problems. The centre-back has not played since the 1-1 draw with Brentford on March 30, but should be part of the squad to play Newcastle.

"I think he will return to the squad," Ten Hag told a news conference on Tuesday. "He's had some sessions with us and we plan for him to be available. If this afternoon everything goes right in training, he will return to the squad. Some other players we have to see; Bruno [Fernandes], [Marcus] Rashford and Willy Kambwala."
