Inigo Martinez played down injury fears after Barcelona’s win over Young Boys in the Champions League.

The defender came off late on and looked to be in deep discussion with the medical staff as he sat on the bench.

Martinez was asked afterwards about his fitness and insisted it’s nothing to worry about.

“I have noticed an overload but nothing more. These things come and go. I could have continued but I decided to ask for a change,” he told Movistar.

The defender scored his first goal for Barcelona during the match, and picked up an assist, and admitted he was happy to get on the scoresheet for once.
