Barcelona celebrated a mammoth victory in the context of the title race on Sunday night, with two stoppage time goals securing a 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid that left them top of the table with a game in hand on Real Madrid, and four points ahead of Los Colchoneros. One of the key factors in the comeback was the assist from Inigo Martinez, but he has suffered an injury blow.
The Basque defender was back in Luis de la Fuente’s Spain squad for the first time since before the 2022 World Cup, but tragically has suffered a knee injury. As per Diario AS, this will keep him out for two to three weeks, which puts him at risk for their La Liga clash against Girona, the return leg of their Copa del Rey against Atletico at the Metropolitano again, and in the worst case scenario, another home clash against Real Betis the following weekend. He should be back in time for Barcelona’s first leg at home to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
