It has been confirmed that Inigo Martinez will be absent from Barcelona for a long time due to the injury he sustained during his participation in the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid.
Martinez left the stadium of the Shining Jewel after only half an hour of the start of the Clasico due to the injury without any Real player intervening against him.
According to the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, the Basque player suffers from a tear in the biceps femoris muscle in his right leg.
As a result of this difficult injury, Inigo Martinez will be absent from the stadiums for at least 5 weeks, and thus he will not participate in the next 9 matches starting with Real Betis.
Despite the bad news, it may lead to Ronald Araujo continuing with Barcelona, as his main position has become guaranteed for a long time after Martinez’s injury and the possibility of Eric Garcia’s departure.
The future of the Uruguayan player remains unknown after winning the Spanish Super Cup, as Juventus still has confidence in its ability to conclude the deal this month, while Barcelona’s position has changed from flexibility to insisting on the player’s continuation due to injuries.
