Barca centre-back Inigo Martinez sidelined with right harmstring injury

Barcelona centre-back Inigo Martinez joins the 'Cules' injury list after suffering a right hamstring injury during the warm-up for the La Liga match against Atletico Madrid. 

Another injury to add to the one suffered at the start of the season by the former Athletic Bilbao player, who missed a few games with plantar fasciitis.

"Tests carried out have revealed that Inigo Martinez has a right hamstring injury. He is out and his recovery will determine his availability," reads the statement published by Barcelona on social media. 

The Spain international has made 10 official appearances for Xavi Hernandez's side this season, eight of them starts. He will miss at least the next La Liga game against Granada, and it is not ruled out that he could be out of action for other matches of the Catalan giants.
