After scans on Monday, it's been confirmed Martinez will be sidelined for a month.

The defender has been a first-choice for coach Hansi Flick so far this season.

Barca announced this morning: "The tests carried out this morning, January 14, have shown that the first team player Iñigo Martínez suffers a rupture of the femoral biceps of the right thigh. The approximate withdrawal time will be around 4 weeks."
