Lisandro Martinez has joined up with the Manchester United squad for their pre-season training camp in the Republic of Ireland.
The defender is the last of Man United's World Cup stars to return from a mandatory three-week summer break after helping Argentina reach the final where they were beaten by Spain in extra-time.
Martinez actually limped off in the first-half of the World Cup final after sustaining a knock, but appears to have made a full recovery.
Expected return to action
However, Martinez is not expected to be available for Man Utd's pre-season friendly against Leeds United on Wednesday evening given his lack of training.
Though, he could get some minutes at the weekend against AC Milan - now managed by former Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim - in what is United's final outing before the start of the new season.
Full squad in Dublin
Kobbie Mainoo, Senne Lammens and Matheus Cunha were among nine Man United players who travelled over to County Kildare to join the training camp at the weekend, along with Marcus Rashford.
Rashford spent last season on loan at Barcelona and has not made a competitive appearance for Man Utd since December 2024 but looks set to figure into Michael Carrick's plans for the 2026-27 campaign.
“I've played with him. I played in the game he made his debut, so we have a history,” Carrick said when asked about Rashford following the draw against Paris Saint-Germain last weekend.
“We have got a full squad this week in Dublin. We fly straight there and have a few days where we have the whole group back together.
“Marcus is part of that, and Kobbie and Lisandro. We look forward to seeing them.”
