Lisandro Martinez is causing anxiety for Manchester United.

Lisandro Martinez will undergo a late fitness test ahead of the Crystal Palace match, as Manchester United face the risk of missing several key players.

On March 1st, Manchester United will enter the 28th round of the Premier League with an unresolved personnel issue.

Lisandro Martinez, who missed the 1-0 win against Everton, is racing against time to be fit for his return.

South Korea 0-1 South Africa: When 69% possession becomes a meaningless numberA narrow defeat against South Africa's disciplined defensive play has left South Korea in a precarious position in Group A of the 2026 World Cup, forcing them to anxiously await a play-off spot.

At that time, Leny Yoro was given a starting spot and, along with Harry Maguire, kept a clean sheet. Coach Michael Carrick was pleased with the duo's performance, but he did not hide his desire to have Martinez back soon.

According to the plan, Martinez will undergo a fitness test later before the coaching staff makes a final decision. With Manchester United having a match against Newcastle next week, safety is paramount.

Statistics highlight Martinez's significant influence. Manchester United have won 5 of the 9 Premier League games he has started this season, but only 8 of the 19 games he has been absent from. The difference lies not only in the numbers, but also in his ability to initiate attacks and organize defense.

In addition to Martinez, MU could be without three more first-team players. Matthijs de Ligt, Patrick Dorgu, and Mason Mount are still not ready to return. Carrick said Mount is "getting closer" to his return, while De Ligt "is definitely improving." However, he declined to give a specific timeframe.

Against Crystal Palace, MU not only sought three points but also wanted to maintain their momentum. With a packed schedule and an increasingly fierce race for the top spot, sensible squad rotation and injury management will determine the depth of the Red Devils' ambitions at this crucial stage of the season.
