Barcelona confirm Martin Braithwaite out with injury

Barcelona confirmed on Sunday that Martin Braithwaite has been ruled out of action after picking up an injury in training.

The striker suffered a quadriceps injury after Saturday’s win over Elche in the Joan Gamper Trophy at the Camp Nou.

“The first team player Martin Braithwaite has a left quadriceps anterior rectus injury and the evolution of the problem will condition his availability.

“The tests carried out this Sunday have shown up the injury, which occurred in post-match training on Saturday.”

Braithwaite wasn’t used in the game but was one of several players to take part in a practice match after the final whistle on the Camp Nou pitch.
