Thiago Martins
30-Year-Old
New York City FC
MLS
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 9/24/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Martins was an MLS All Star for the first time in his career in his third season with NYC FC. He hit multiple career highs, starting all 35 games while reaching 147 clearances and playing all 90 minutes in each match. The defender will have bigger responsibilities as the captain of the team with a new coach on the horizon and a developing back line. Martins will be tested in a big way in a new system, making his and NYC FC's defensive upside uncertain at best for 2025.
Receives knee surgery
Martins has undergone successful surgery on his knee and is expected to return within the next four to six weeks, according to his club.
ANALYSIS
Martins is going to be sidelined for the remainder of the summer, with the defender needing surgery on his knee despite no prior notice. He has only missed two games all season and is a regular starter, so this is a major loss. That said, this will force a change for around the two months he is out, with Strahinja Tanasijevic or Mitja Ilenic as possible replacements.
