Lisandro Martínez

Analysis: Martinez ended the season healthy and that should earn him a starting role in Argentina's backline, though it remains to be seen if it'll be next to Cristian Romero (knee) or Nicolas Otamendi. Martinez started in 13 of his 18 EPL outings for Manchester United and helped the Red Devils finish in third place in the standings while earning four clean sheets. His tenacity at the back should make him a lock-in starter for Lionel Scaloni's side.

Finally set for return

Martinez is no longer suspended and is an option for Manchester United again.

Analysis: Martinez is set to return in the next match after a lengthy suspension, missing their past three games. This is major for the club and defense, adding back one of their best in the department as they try to close out on a UCL spot. He should return to a starting spot immediately, building up more fitness ahead of the World Cup after a lengthy injury before the ban.
