The expected recovery timeline for such injuries typically ranges from six to eight months, suggesting Martínez may return to play in late 2025. This marks Martínez's third significant injury since joining Manchester United from Ajax in 2022, having previously suffered a fractured metatarsal and a medial collateral ligament injury.
