The match between Barcelona and Barbastro in the round of 32 of the Spanish King's Cup witnessed new miserable news for the Catalan club.
Barcelona opened 2024 by beating Las Palmas 2-1, but Joao Cancelo suffered an injury and his position on participating in the Spanish Super Cup became questionable.
In the second match of the new year, Barcelona regained the services of its defender, Iñago Martinez, after he was absent for nearly a month due to injury, but he was injured again during the match.
Xavi Hernandez was forced to replace the Basque defender in the 64th minute, and Andres Christensen replaced him in the match, which Barcelona won 3-2.
According to what was reported by the Spanish media, feelings are very negative regarding Martinez's injury, and it has become certain that he will miss the Spanish Super Cup.
The 32-year-old injured his hamstring again, so he will need at least a month to return to the field and recover.
It is noteworthy that Barcelona will lose the services of Pedri, Javi and Ter Stegen in the Super Cup due to injury.
