Appears in preseason match Martin came off the bench and played 13 minutes during a preseason game vs Kobe on Sunday.

Impact Martin had been recovering from minor hand surgery back in June, recovering in time to participate in preseason with Barcelona. He is not likely to hold a starting role for 2025/26, having made just 11 starts in 28 La Liga appearances, however, will remain a key bench option with a goal and three assists last campaign.

Selected for preseason tour Martin (finger) has been selected for the club's preseason tour.

Impact Martin looks to be on the mend from his finger surgery he recieved in June, with the defender now set to travel with the team to Asia for their preseason tour. He will now hope to see field time, as it has yet to be confirmed if he is training. That said, he will hope to see the field in a friendly to clear him ahead of the opening match of the campaign.

Impact Martin suffered the injury during the first half of Wednesday's victory against Slovakia in the U21 EURO Championship and was forced to undergo surgery as it appeared to be infected. Martin will now begin his recovery and the club expects him to be available for the start of preseason.

JUNE 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set for surgery Martin suffered a dislocation at the base of the fifth metacarpal in his right hand and will undergo surgery next Tuesday, the club announced Friday.

Impact Martin suffered the injury in the first half of Wednesday's 3-2 victory against Slovakia in the U21 EURO Championship, and this surgery rules him out for the rest of the season. Martin, who had some impressive performances toward the end of the 2024/25 campaign, should be ready for preseason and could battle Alejandro Balde for starts at left-back if Barca don't sign another player for that role during the summer transfer window.

Impact Martin had been dealing with a reported finger infection suffered in Wednesday's game and will be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue. Martin was spotted already wearing a strap on his hand at the end of the game which could allow him to play depending on his sensations. His next chance to play will come on Saturday against Romania U21.

Successful end to season Martin started in 11 of his 28 appearances while recording one goal on seven shots and three assists on eight chances created in La Liga.

Impact Martin was welcomed to his debut campaign with Barcelona during the 2024/25 season, seeing more of a rotational role in his first stint with the club. However, he would assume a starting role late after some injuries and would impress, starting in nine of their final 14 games, recording two assists in league play and two assists in UCL play during that span. He is showing significant promise at the age of 23, and with the player able to play in the midfield or at full-back, he could work into more minutes moving forward in the young Barcelona squad.

Offensively redeems with assists Martin assisted twice to go with nine crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Tuesday's 4-3 loss against Inter Milan.

Impact For the 2025 Champions League's semifinals, Alex Balde (leg) was out both games, so Barcelona relied on Martin at left-back. In the first leg, he did not play well, with Inter's right wing-back Denzel Dumfries easily getting through the replacement. That happened again Tuesday, but Martin provided a few strikes back in the form of assists to goals scored by Eric Garcia and Dani Olmo, which helped Barca temporarily bounce back from a 2-0 deficit. The left-back's UCL season concludes with three assists.

Credited with assist Martin assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and four chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Valladolid.

Impact Martin was one of the best players for Barcelona in this match, and he capped things off when he assisted the game-winning goal scored by Fermin. Martin has proven he can handle things on the left side of the defense, but he's not expected to be a regular starter in the next few matches, with Inter Milan and Real Madrid on the horizon for Los Blaugranas.
