Lisandro Martinez is back in Manchester after celebrating his World Cup win with Argentina. Martinez was invited to stay on in his homeland for the wedding of close friend and teammate, Nicolas Tagliafico.
He, however, opted to return to England to resume duties with his club earlier this week. The defender, though, missed Tuesday night's win over Nottingham Forest as Erik ten Hag felt he would not be ready after enduring a longer trip back than fellow World Cup finalist Raphael Varane.
Tagliafico and his wife were wed in a civil service last year but postponed their celebrations due to Covid-19.
In his absence, Luke Shaw slotted alongside Raphael Varane at centre-back against Nottingham Forest. He is expected to be given the nod against Wolves on Saturday.
