Iñigo Martínez, at the back of Xavi's plans at Barça

The season still is in his initial phase and is very soon to take out conclusions, but already there are several appearances that have called the attention in the FC Barceona in the first compasses of the course. The case of Iñigo Martínez is one of them, because it keeps like the player that less minutes has contested of the first team and surpass him the juvenile Lamine Yamal or Fermín López. Further of the cautions that have had the medical services with his recovery, seems to have something more with the central Basque.

And it is that, although it has been available from principles of September -when the Barça inscribed him and confirmed his high medical-, the ex of the Athletic alone Club has been 92 minutes on the lawn and has been only once title, against the RCD Mallorca in Sound Moix. It shared saga with Ronald Araújo and the two finished quite argued in the party. It was a night in which the Barcelona were not hit and were a lot of the defensive errors that committed.

Iñigo, in front of his big opportunity in the Barça

The true is that the stage of Martínez in the City Condal has not had the beginning that he had preferred. Since it was registered, played a minute in front of the Osasuna, 14' in front of the Real Betis and the 78' against the Mallorca. After the visit to Sound Moix, has accumulated three suplencias consecutive; in the crashes in front of the Seville, Port wine and Granada. It has remained evidenciado that Xavi Hernández does not trust fully in him and that sees him like the last option to reinforce his defensive saga.

In spite of this, everything seems to indicate to that will go back to be headline against his exequipo. The forecast is that Martínez add his second titularity like Barcelona this Sunday, costing of the injury of Jules Koundé ('KO' until mediated of November). In principle, it would be accompanied by Andreas Christensen to form the couple of head offices. Everything will depend on how return Ronald Araújo of his commitments with Uruguay.

Forced to step forward

The charrúa will play, against Brazil, in the morning of the Wednesday and will be one of the last players that reincorporará to the trainings in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. It is a stage of the that, without place to doubts, Iñigo Martínez will have to benefit to win the confidence of the trainer egarense. It is forced to take a step forward and show of which wood is done.
