German Hans Flick, the coach of Barcelona’s first football team, received bad news after winning the Spanish Super Cup against their rival Real Madrid, regarding the injury of one of the Barça players.
Barcelona and Real Madrid met in the Spanish Super Cup final at the “Jewel of the Shining” stadium in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where Barcelona won 5-2.
The Catalan newspaper “Sport” reported that Barcelona defender Inigo Martinez could be out for a period of time after his injury in the Spanish Super Cup match against Real Madrid.
Barcelona was crowned Spanish Super Cup champions on Sunday evening after their impressive 5-2 victory over Real Madrid.
Inigo Martinez started in the lineup as usual alongside young Pau Coparsi, but he was injured in the middle of the first half and was replaced by Ronald Araujo, who had just returned from injury.
The newspaper stated that Inigo Martinez somewhat spoiled the joy of the team’s technical staff, led by German Hansi Flick, after suffering a tear in his hamstring muscle, which will keep him out of action for five weeks.
The newspaper added that Inigo Martinez, who is one of Barcelona’s key players this season, will be sidelined for a considerable period, particularly given the busy schedule that awaits the Catalan team.
It is worth noting that Inigo Martinez will miss 10 full matches for Barcelona.
