Barca confirm Inigo Martinez's injury, four weeks out of action

It was one of the few negative notes for Barca in their visit to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup. A tournament that closed with the trophy and a great performance to beat Real Madrid in the final. It was in that match against Los Blancos that the injury to Inigo Martinez forced the substitution of Ronald Araujo.

It was already predicted that it would be a fairly serious injury that could keep the centre-back out for several weeks. And this Tuesday, through an official statement, Barca have confirmed the muscle rupture of the former Athletic player, who has affected the biceps femoris area of the right thigh.

The Azulgrana club added their estimated time out of action: four weeks. The defender could miss up to seven games: Betis (Cup), Getafe (League), Benfica (Champions League), Valencia (League), Atalanta (Champions League), Alavés (League) and Sevilla (League). If the deadlines are met, he could make his comeback against Rayo at home.
