The Frenchman has only played once since coming off at half-time in Unitedβs 2-1 comeback against Manchester City at Old Trafford.
Martial came on from the bench against Nottingham Forest and even got on the scoresheet. He has not featured since.
However, the 26-year-old is unlikely to be available for selection on Thursday as the Red Devils face off against Real Betis in the Europa League Round of 16.
Ten Hag told reporters during his presser, βMarcel Sabitzer is not available, as well as Anthony Martial. Martial is back on the pitch, so we will see. For the rest, everyone is available and we are ready for the game.β

Ten Hag will also be boosted by the return of Victor Lindelof.
United confirmed on the clubβs official website that the Swede resumed training after being forced out of the defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.
Raphael Varane and Casemiro also took part in the training routines.
There were fears that the two would not be available.
It was relayed that the two former Real Madrid stars may have been carrying knocks during the game at Anfield, which could explain their below-par performances.
There have been suggestions both Casemiro and Varane were carrying knocks at Anfield, although this is yet to be verified. #UEL
