Barcelona manager Hansi Flick says Inigo Martinez will be fit to return to the team for Wednesday’s Champions League tie with Borussia Dortmund.
Martinez was ruled out of Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Real Betis with a minor injury but Flick said after the game he will be back next time out.
“He’ll be ready. We’ve decided not to let him sit on the bench so he can receive the necessary treatment,” he told reporters afterwards.
The news will be a boost as Martinez has been a virtual ever-present this season and a key part of Barcelona’s fine form under Flick.
