The young Joan Martínez (16 years old), dazzling during the preparation with Real Madrid, was the victim of a cruciate ligament rupture. The young Spanish defender had caught the eye of Carlo Anceloti who even intended to make him a place in the group to face Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup, on August 14. An immense sadness for the player, but also a great disappointment for Real who, according to Brandthought he had found in Joan Martínez, the defender who would make people forget the failure of Leny Yoro.
The bad run of injuries for Madrid defenders continues. After Eder Militao last season, it is the young Martinez who ruptured his cruciate ligaments this year, at the worst possible time for the Spaniard who was about to have his chance with Real Madrid’s senior team. With this unfortunate injury, the cards are therefore reshuffled and Florentino Perez’s club will have to look again at the market for young central defenders to fill the gap.
