Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed update on the injury situation of Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro.

The two players have been on lengthy injury layoffs following their respective injury blows. Lisandro Martinez is yet to make an appearance for Manchester United this season.

He has been on the sidelines since last season following a bone fracture. In contrast, Casemiro missed few weeks of action for Manchester United this season after picking up an injury while on international duty with Brazil.

Speaking on the duo's injury situation, Erik ten Hag revealed the two players are close to making a return to full action with Manchester United.

In a quote shared by Fabrizio Romano, the Dutch tactician said;

“They are a long time back on the grass already, but now they have returned to team training."

“Not fully but partial, and now they have to make the next steps that, of course, takes some days… I think even weeks”.

Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez were key to Erik ten Hag's terrific debut campaign with Manchester United last season. Their injuries is believed to have impacted Man United's campaign this season, hence their imminent return could be a turning point for the team.

Erik ten Hag put behind Manchester United's Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest to edge out lower-division side Wigan from FA Cup in the last match.

Goals from Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes fired the Red Devils pass Wigan. The team will be hoping to continue on their winning ways when they take on Tottenham Hotspur in the their next game.
